A lovely selection of do-able recipes with great appeal for children. Great ideas for getting in the five-a-day for veggie-averse kids.

Obvious nods to Handmaid's Tale but this is a beautifully written and compelling story with a sympathetic protagonist and chilling real-life echoes.

Lovely characters that are full of energy, all the elements of a boarding school including intrigue, best friends, school songs, house loyalties, the kind and not so kind teachers! Stands alone well, worth adding to collections.

Great overview with attractive layout & wide scope, with a wealth of info to pore over. Good resource for leisure or study uses

A gripping read with an unassuming heroine. The writing is succinct and builds a new world with ease. It stretches the imagination of the reader and opens many topics for discussion. Great stuff!

An emotional and compelling read which explores themes of friendship, loyalty, forgiveness and the power of memories. Dyslexia-friendly, strong characterisation and with funny and tender moments this is perfect for reluctant boy readers.

Lovely set-up and layout, with detailed illustrations and plenty of information about each cat. Really nice addition to shelves in schools and libraries.

Sweet, likeable characters and a relatable story of growing up, starting secondary school and having the courage to be yourself. Lovely cosy read.

Oh my life, be prepared for cuteness overload. Rayner's illus are an absolute treat and story is lovely too. One of her best and perfect for storytime. Worth it for the endpapers alone!!

Beautiful atmospheric illustrations add something to this unusual book with very few words to read but lots to look for. The colours match the mood and temperature experienced in the story. Excellent!

A page-turning magical adventure with two flawed but inspiring protagonists. The characters are well-drawn and it touches on some big issues such as poverty, society and family. A great reading for pleasure book and would make a good class read

Great use of funny acronyms to create this entertaining read. The layout and illustrations really add to the humour. Could be used in KS1 literacy lessons. Go Out And Try!!

A great read with a cuddly, naïve but brave main character. Told from the point of view of Rebel the dog, the reader smells the whole new world, sees the good amongst the bad and feels the love. Well imagined, well written and very appealing.

Beautifully written and utterly devastating study of friendship and grief. Sure to stay with readers for a long time and a fantastic comeback for this author.

Nice twist on the usual riding-a-bike scenario, with expressive illustrations and a likeable main character. Great for situations collections or just as a leisure read.
