|summary=Having really enjoyed the first book about the children on Storey street, [[Demolition Dad by Phil Earle and Sara Ogilvie]] I was looking forward to this follow up. This time the focus is on Mouse who lives in a rather manic household since after having Mouse his mother had twin boys, and then triplets! Whilst his father is exhausted from trying to earn a living as a magician, his mother is, as you can imagine, run ragged with all the children, and Mouse feels rather neglected. Mouse has a secret means of escape, however, because he leads an imaginary double life and his secret identity is Mouse the Mighty! But what happens when he is forced to become a hero in real life?

|summary=''A Man of Good Hope'' is the remarkable biography of Asad Abdullahi. It tells the story of a Somalian boy abandoned at eight years of age and his journey to adulthood. It is also a testament to the human spirit and its capacity to survive. Epic in its scope it covers a journey that stretches the length of the continent of Africa. In a time when the mass migration of people has never been, more in focus it tells the story of what it really means to be a refugee by someone who has experienced it all his life.

|title= Ray Davies: A Complicated Life
|rating= 5
|genre= Entertainment
|summary= Most of Britain's most popular and successful songwriters of the last 150 years, from Gilbert and Sullivan and Lennon and McCartney, to Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice and Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb, have been partnerships. The only solo writer in the same league is Ray Davies, front man of The Kinks from their formation in 1963 to their final performance in 1994. While this mighty tome is partly an account of the group's tortuous thirty-year history, it is also first and foremost, as the title says, a biography of Davies himself. Through interviews with the Davies brothers, Ray and his younger brother Dave, the group's guitarist and only other constant member of the line-up, other group members, managers, friends and associates, Rogan has given us as complete a book of the man as we are ever likely to get.
