|title=Better Homes and Hauntings
|summary=The professional criminal is the type of person who gets in, does the job and then gets out again.

Instead, take a bunch of young kidnappers who are drunk on their own success, whose racket goes wrong one day when they pick up the wrong mark. Watching their lives spiral out of control would be a much more thrilling read. A read just like ''The Professionals''.

|title=Borgon the Axeboy and the Dangerous Breakfast
|author=Kjartan Poskitt and Philip Reeve
|rating=4
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=A real Barbarian breakfast has to have two elements – fun, and danger. So when Borgon wakes up wanting to prove himself to be the last of the really crazy and brave savages in Golgarth Basin, it's not enough to just give his parents a batch of crocodile tails – especially when his mum Fulma can't eat them as it's her teeth-sharpening day. So off he goes in search of a ridiculously dangerous breakfast, such as a Barbarian might only eat once or twice. The mysterious food source certainly provides a lot of danger, and the book itself provides a lot of fun too.
