|title=The Luck Uglies
|summary=I was talking to my son’s teacher recently and she was telling me about a class trip to the library. Apparently, as soon as the children got through the door, they all rushed, en-masse, to the ''Horrid Henry'' and ''Captain Underpants'' books. Squabbles ensued when there were not enough Horrid Henry books to meet demand.

|title=Shadow Girl
|rating=5
|genre=Dyslexia Friendly
|summary=One of the disadvantages of the foster care system is that some children get moved around rather a lot and usually it's not down to them. But because of this it's easy to see making friends as being a wasted effort and this was certainly Clare's opinion. By the age of fourteen she was at her third secondary school - and after being there for two months she hated it. Everyone else had been there for years and they all had friends: Clare had no one. A very bad day saw her being evicted from the school bus and then getting lost as she tried to find her way home. The good thing was that she met Maddy.
