Revenge of the Evil Librarian
Name: Alison Urquhart
08 April 2017;Genre: Adventure
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...

A Busy Day for Birds
Name: Joanna Hewish
06 April 2017;Genre: Adventure
What a wonderful story to read with little ones. Both of my children were immediately excited when I brought this story home, the colours and smiling faces on the front cover caught their attention straight away, and we were not disappointed by the story. I wish I had filmed my son's reaction to...

Nibbles
Name: Linda Nicholson
06 April 2017;Genre: Humour
What a wonderful story to illustrate how readers 'devour' books - although in this case, the mischievous Nibbles the Book Monster does so literally, escaping from his wooden crate and diving into a pile of books where he promptly chews his way through, changing the endings of the stories beyon...

Geek Girl: Forever Geek
Name: Melanie Chadwick
06 April 2017;Genre: Romance & Relationships
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
06 April 2017;Genre: Adventure
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...

The Nest
Name: Victoria Dilly
06 April 2017;Genre: Family & Home
