|title=Marvel Rocket and Groot: Stranded on Planet Shopping Mall
|rating=4
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=''I am Groot''. I know what you're saying there, it ''is'' good to see the japery of our favourite small woodland creature and tree-man-thing in book form, even if here it is a particularly unusual form. Everything here is unusual, on Planet Shopping Mall, where our heroes have arrived – and not by choice. Take the first place they go to, a dry-cleaners, so that Rocket can clean his clothes of space piranha blood – the toilet in back just tries to eat him. The sickly-sweet sweet shop is manned by angry robot tooth fairies, with a battle mode, and they too have the consumption of peculiar life-forms in mind. Can the stranded duo battle every evil thing around, and survive to find a way off-world? And can they cope with being forced to enter partnership with a purple tape dispenser?

|summary= Feisty heroines who refuse to accept the limitations set on them by men abound in literature at the moment – which is all to the good – and thirteen-year-old Mouse is no exception. She lives a precarious but happy life on the ''Huntress'' with her one-eyed grandma, who is the ship's captain, and her little brother Sparrow. Their tribe worships the whales as gods, protecting and working together with them to defeat the vicious and bloodthirsty terrodyls, and despite her young age Mouse is already a gifted diver for the pearls which they trade for food.
