|title=The Bus Is for Us
|rating=4.5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=As a child of the 80s I sometimes yearn for an era free from [[Aliens In Underpants Save The World by Claire Freedman and Ben Cort|Aliens in Underpants]] or rough [[The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson|Gruffalos]]. An era of Alan and Janet Ahlberg telling [[Each Peach Pear Plum by Janet Ahlberg and Allan Ahlberg|gentle stories]] that had an old fashioned feel, but were still great for the modern kid. Thankfully, I am not the only person out there that craves this as some books are still being produced that describe the simple pleasures such as riding the bus. However, I think that these kids have obviously never tried to catch the Number 9 at rush hour.

|summary=Battle-weary and suffering from PTSD, 40-year-old Sergeant Lester Ferris is posted to the island of Mancreu to mark time till his retirement. With no family of his own, Lester takes a local lad under his wing; an adolescent who lives his own life through comic books and superheroes in the hope that he can be adopted. Despite Mancreu beginning to churn with more than its customary black marketeering, Lester realises that he has a job on his hands, not only to take care of an island that sees him as a government puppet but also convince someone that he is the stuff of heroism and to convince himself while he's at it.
