Name: Alison Urquhart

This wittily written book - the follow-up to The Evil Librarian - took me right back to my days of watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! Having not read the previous book, I was pleased that it started with a quick recap to set the scene but did not labour the point. I was quickly drawn to the char...

Geek Girl: Forever Geek

The last episode of the popular Geek Girl books is not a disappointment. With all the fun, heartache, accidents, misunderstandings, random facts and great clothes we associate with the inimitable Harriet Masters. All the great characters we have come to love or loathe over the course of the ser...

Beetle Queen
Name: Janet Fisher

I moved straight on to reading Beetle Queen having read the first in this planned trilogy, Beetle Boy. At the end of the first book the reader gets a glimpse of what Lucretia Cutter really is (and I won't disclose this!). She is designing and making dresses for actresses nominated for awards in...
