|title=Dunger
|author=Joy Cowley
|rating=4
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=There is nothing worse than two people who constantly argue, like brother and sister Will and Lissy. Well, actually there are – two people who constantly argue and who need hearing aids but carefully ignore that fact, like their grandparents. The siblings are expecting a regular trip away – fancy clothes and fancying boys for her, swotty things for him, but no – the recession means their closest approximation to a summer break is to repair and put right the oldster's bach – summer home, if you like. What's more, they'll be paid for it. But is any amount of money suitable payment for the primitive horrors to come?

|title=My Age of Anxiety
|summary=If you like made up creatures, this is the book you need, because virtually all of it is invented in a cuckoo, mixed up, doolally kind of way. Not only is there a ''wocket'' in a pocket, but there’s also a ''wasket'' in the basket, a ''yottle'' in the bottle and ''bofa'' on the sofa and so on. What a funny house this boy lives in!
