|title=Ninja 2: Death Touch (Ninja Trilogy)
|author=Chris Bradford and Sonia Leong
|rating=5
|genre=Dyslexia Friendly
|summary=''Ninja Death Touch'' is the second book in this series. It was however, the first book we read. We had no problem reading this as a stand alone book, but the minute we had finished I was on Amazon to buy the first book, and if the third book had been available I would have bought that one as well. In fact if the author had had twenty books in this series, I'd have tried to buy them all. This book features the two main characters of the first story, Tata and Cho, as well as Tata's rival Renzo and sworn enemy Lord Oda. The book begins with the young Ninja put to what appears to be senseless tasks at the whims of their masters. None are too happy about it, and tensions erupt between the young Ninja. All too soon the reason for these tasks becomes apparent as Lord Oda leads an attack meant to destroy the entire clan.

|summary=At about the turn of the century most people on the street where I live had a morning paper delivered and a good number also got an evening paper. The queue at the newsagent in the village would be out of the door each morning as people picked up a paper on their way to work. I can't remember when I last saw a newspaper boy (or girl) on their rounds and we only buy the weekend papers as an indulgence with a more leisurely breakfast. Times have changed - and there's no sign that the situation is likely to settle in the near future.

|title=Mr Lynch's Holiday
|author=Catherine O'Flynn
|rating=4
|genre=General Fiction
|summary=Having read and enjoyed both of her previous novels, [[What Was Lost by Catherine O'Flynn|What Was Lost]] and [[The News Where You Are by Catherine O'Flynn|The News Where You Are]] I was looking forward to this latest book. The story tells us of a father who surprises his son, living in Spain, with a visit. The father is recently widowed and the son's long-term partner has very recently left him, although it's some time before he admits that to his dad. What begins as a holiday turns into something of a pschological rescue mission as Dermot begins to see the problems depressing Eamonn and the ways in which he might be able to help. There's a lot about familial relationships in the book, as well as ideas about living at home and abroad.
