REVIEW: Having loved the previous titles by Claire and Ben, I really couldn’t wait for this Christmas themed one to land, and whilst it was originally released back in October, it was a magical moment to save it for this, the holiday period. As usual, you get a quirky story as our heroes come to the rescue of Father Christmas as he makes his way to all the children in the world. It’s beautifully told, the illustrations a lot of fun as well as brightly coloured and it’s a great addition to any children’s library or a great story to help them get to sleep on the hardest night of the year.
All in a great book and one that we absolutely loved. With luck you’ll get the same pleasure the we did from this title.
Release Date: 11/11/10 BOOK BLURB: Immerse yourself in the world of the spectacular Harry Potter film series, and learn why Yule Ball ice sculptures never melt, where Galleons, Sickles and Knuts are really minted , how to get a Hippogriff to work with actors, about the inspiration behind Hogwarts castle, and why Dementors move the way they do. Written and designed in collaboration with the cast and crew that brought J.K Rowling's celebrated novels to the silver screen, Harry Potter: Film Wizardry delivers an enchanting interactive experience, transporting readers to the wizarding world by sharing filmmaking secrets, unpublished photography and artwork, and exclusive stories from the stars. Full of removable, facsimile reproductions of props and paper ephemera from the movies, this collectible volume offers a privileged look at the Harry Potter films and the talented group of Muggles that has made true movie magic.
REVIEW: With the written series having completed a good few years ago, the films are fast coming to the climax with the soon to be released first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. What Transworld have done is take some of the movie magic, added their own blend of wizardry alongside the film’s innovators and created this magical offering.
Contained within this title is a whole set of facts, some great pullout/accessories alongside some almost magical film memorabilia like the Quidditch World Cup programme, the education decree as well as catalogues from places such as Borgin and Burkes Auctioneers and the Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes. Add to this Harry’s Hogwarts invite and you know that it’s going to be a title that will delight fans both young and old. Great stuff.
Release Date: 02/09/10 BOOK BLURB: You're dead Scarlett...Previously a poor taste jibe from school frenemies, now a statement of fact. Scarlett is absolutely mortified (in more ways than one) to discover that she's accidentally killed herself while trying to get out of a school trip. Even worse, she's taken her entire family with her. Life as a ghost is pretty dull - if only some of her friends were dead too...
REVIEW: With modern ghost stories featuring more principle characters who are on the wrong side of deceased becoming all the rage, the author has to do something a bit different and special to stand out from the crowd.
Here, in this title, is a book that is more UK based than anything else, it’s reasonable and with an online blog to follow, adds to its own build up allowing the reader to get quite into the title as well as getting to know the “players” a bit better. Add to this, that it’s aimed at the younger teen market and it’s OK, however be aware of the odd swear word.
The major problem with this title is that whilst the idea’s are there, the characters really aren’t fully formed leaving them feeling flat as well as possibly quite “jokey” and when compared to the complexities alongside world building of other titles within the genre such as Ghost Girl fall short of what today’s readers expect. With luck future books in this series will correct this oversight but personally if you’re looking for this type of title for the forthcoming holidays, then go for Ghost Girl.
Release Date: 03/05/04 BOOK BLURB: When mattie Gokey is given a bundle of letters to burn she fully intends to execute the wishes of the giver, Grace Brown. When Grace Brown is found drowned the next day in Big Moose Lake, Mattie finds that it is not as easy to burn those letters as she had thought. And, as she reads, a riveting story emerges - not only Grace Brown's story but also Mattie's hopes and ambitions for the future and her relationships with her friends and family.
REVIEW: As a reader I’m a few years late to this offering by Jennifer Donnelly. It’s won prizes, it’s won acclaim but would it stand up to the things that I look for in a book?
What Jennifer does well is her character descriptions as well as the emotional context to which is prevalent within this title. It’s strong where it needs to be, it has tenderness and overall the arc is exactly what readers desire making her a tough name to beat within the genre. I was more than pleased that I’d picked this title up as the reading pleasure gained as well as the thoughts that it provoked will make it a title that will stay with me for quite some time. Magical.
Release Date: 01/09/96 BOOK BLURB: This is a breath-taking adventure story, set in reimagined eighteenth-century England. As the realm struggles to maintain an uneasy peace after years of cival war and tyranny, a twelve-year-old orphan and her loyal companion, a grumpy goose, are about to become the unlikely heroes of a radical revolution. Mosca Mye has spent her childhood in a miserable hamlet, after her father was banished there for writing inflammatory books about freedom. Now he is dead and Mosca is on the run, heading for the city of Mandelion. There she finds herself living by her wits among cut-throat highwaymen, spies and smugglers. With peril at every turn, Mosca uncovers a dark plot to terrorize the people of Mandelion, and soon merry mayhem leads to murder ...With an unforgettable cast of characters and an inspiring message at its heart - sometimes the power of words can change the world!
REVIEW: Frances Hardinge’s first novel and one that clearly demonstrates the author’s talent and why she’s a name to watch. Originally released in 2006 I am pretty much a late comer to this title and was pleasantly surprised at what the book contained.
As with her other titles, the reader can expect some great dialogue, a good number of interesting characters and protagonists that they can readily identify with. Add to the mix a seriously good descriptive style as well as an understanding of pace that makes this a title that the reader enjoy especially when they take into account the vivid world described within. All in, this title is thoroughly enjoyable, although on a critical note, I’d suggest that this title is for the older reader than the recommended age due to the complexities of the overall arc.
Release Date: 07/10/10 BOOK BLURB: Chess Tuesday is on the run...And the deadly Twisted Symmetry isn't far behind. They've already hunted down and imprisoned her brothers, Box and Splinter. In a world where neither friends, enemies nor family are what they seem, trust is not an option. And Chess is about to discover that the truth may be more dangerous than she ever thought possible.
REVIEW: To be honest with you, I’ve had a seriously hard time getting into this series and whilst I can appreciate the hard work as well as the writing talent of the author, I really couldn’t get a handle on the cast and as such felt alienated. Whilst a number of people may think that this is due to me jumping into this series part way through, it isn’t I picked up the first title and made my way from there.
All in it does build up the tension, it does give the reader an adventure and overall the reader may well get a blast from it. But for me, without being able to get a handle on the characters I get lost, confused and really don’t care which way it goes. With luck a future titles may well feature different characters in the Bad Tuesday series such as Box is a bit of an enigma that really needs more page time.
Release Date: 01/11/10 BOOK BLURB: Buffy Summers is the Chosen One. Born with unnatural strength and instincts, she alone must fight off the vampires of the world to save humankind. Not to mention the fact that she must also deal with the usual teen nightmares: dating, friends, and high school. Buffy, along with her best friends Willow and Xander, struggles to save the world one fiesty vamp at a time. Halloween Rain ~ Even without a maniacal scarecrow, a Sunnydale Halloween is a truly horrific happening. There are enough zombies and vampires about, ready to party hearty and eat some brains, to keep the Slayer and her friends up all night. But then the rain starts to fall...Bad Bargain ~ All hell breaks loose when Sunnydale High is once again the focus for channelled evil - but is the infestation of strange demonic vermin a harbinger of something much worse to come...? AfterImage ~ A mysterious stranger has designs on Sunnydale as the town prepares for an all-night session of horror films at the Drive-in - and that's when things get very weird indeed.
REVIEW: Having reviewed the original Buffy rerelease, we just couldn’t wait to get our hands on this title to see if any of the problems that we’d had had been corrected. Whilst the paper quality was still the same, what we did get was what felt like a better class of writer as the simplistic style seemed to have disappeared to be replaced by authors with a better understanding of the characters, hardly surprising when authors like Christopher Golden are involved. All in a better title than the original and with some seriously good action, a good dollop of omnibus magic and of course a seriously competitive price this title is one that gave us a lot of pure reading pleasure.

Release Date: 01/10/10 BOOK BLURB: Eva Nine was raised by the robot Muthr. But when a marauder destroys the underground sanctuary she called home, twelve-year-old Eva is forced to flee aboveground. Eva Nine is searching for anyone else like her. She knows that other humans exist because of a very special item she treasures ~ a scrap of cardboard on which is depicted a young girl, an adult, and a robot along with the strange word WondLa . Tony DiTerlizzi honours traditional children's literature in this totally original space age adventure: one that is as complex as an alien planet, but as simple as a child's wish for a place to belong.
REVIEW: Known for his Spiderwick Chronicles work, Tony is coming to a world of his own with his recent outings. Here he brings his own take on Carol’s “Alice” which when blended with what feels like part “Fallout” part “Logan’s Run and wraps it all together with his own brand of Science Fiction that young readers will just love.
The book, when backed with Tony’s wonderful artwork will make for a fun reading, especially when you get to know the “in jokes” that pervade throughout.
All in a great adventure with a whole host of interesting characters that readers will want to hang out with. Add the secret computer pieces and you know that there’s some real magic about.
Release Date: 03/09/10 BOOK BLURB: Four mini boardbooks in a slipcase, featuring the characters from the highly successful TV series.
Each board book will feature one of the most popular characters from the series introducing some of their favourite things within core preschool themes.
REVIEW: This offering is a ton of fun as your little one gets to know five of driver dan’s friends. Each little book deals with an individual character (or in characters in the Vrooms case) and have some fun as you get to play with them. Great tales all in and an ideal travel companion.
Release Date: 05/11/10 BOOK BLURB: Sherlock knows that Amyus Crow, his mysterious American tutor, has some dark secrets. But he didn't expect to find a notorious killer, hanged by the US government, apparently alive and well in Surrey - and Crow somehow mixed up in it. When no one will tell you the truth, sometimes you have to risk all to discover it for yourself. And so begins an adventure that will take Sherlock across the ocean to America, to the centre of a deadly web - where life and death are cheap, and truth has a price no sane person would pay...
REVIEW: The second outing for Andrew’s Young Sherlock Holmes and one that helps give the reader the chance to get to know him before his talents burgeon. It’s definitely a book that will win the author fans, it will also please established Doyle fans as well as help build the characters mythos which overall will only add to the characters overall popularity. Add to the mix a great story arc, some good outlining and a conspiracy or two that will enthuse the reader and you know that you have something special. This series, if it continues to build on the success of the first two titles is something that could easily be transferred to the medium of either film or a children’s TV series. Which goes to show that this really is too good to miss.
Release Date: 05/11/10 BOOK BLURB: A buried key. A golden claw. Some ghostly goings-on ...sounds like another case for Wilma Tenderfoot! Wilma Tenderfoot (feisty and determined assistant to the greatest living detective, Theodore P. Goodman) and her trusty beagle Pickle face their toughest task yet. A mummified body has been found buried in the grounds of gothic mansion Blackheart Hoo. Who is it? How did they die? And why is the mummy clutching a key? As things take a seriously spooky turn Wilma must solve the puzzle quickly ...or risk being frightened to death! There's also the small matter of some buried treasure, a kidnapping and uncovering the grizly secrets of the Blackheart family. Wilma will need all her courage and cunning to crack this case. Gulp.
REVIEW: Young Adult fiction is a genre that has been growing over the last few years. Unable to utilise swear words that so many adult titles seemt rely upon, the author find inventive ways to not only get their point across but to thrill and enrapture the reader.
One series that utilises this to the maximum is the Wilma Tenderfoot adventures, there’s a character for everyone, from an enthusiastic hard to control heroine right through to the rascal sidekick dog, Pickles. It is a reader’s dream with each case not only aiding Wilma in her quest to become a detective but furthers her search to find out about her own past.
Add to this great dialogue, some wonderful twisty scenarios and an arch villain who always gets his comeuppance and Young Adult Fiction really has a few treats in store.
Release Date: 01/10/10 BOOK BLURB: Outlandish adventurer Harriet has been hired by the illustrious Fairy Aerodynamic Exploration Society to track down the elusive Wychwood fairies. No one, so far, has been able to find them. Will Harriet and her faithful pet dragon Eric be up to the job? Find out in this breath-takingly beautiful and imaginative book. Young readers will love joining Harriet on her quest as they read her removable letters and postcards, search every inch of Wychwood and camp out overnight on a midnight hunt for fairies. With stunning artwork, a wittily recounted story and a whole host of inviting novelty elements, this book is the perfect gift for all fans of fairies ...and adventure.
REVIEW: This is an unusual title and one that isn’t so much a story but one that will enchant readers with its creativity as well as the inventiveness of the author to create a collectable title that readers will fall in love with. Yes it’s aimed more at the young female market but the real magic of this title is the way in which the book is put together, there are lots of things to find on each page, plenty of things to examine and of course the letters to open and read. It’s a seriously interesting book and one that really has opened the world of the Wychwood Fairies to the readers. I eagerly await the chance to see a full length novel featuring the characters alongside seeing what the author can come up with. Great fun.
Release Date: 03/09/10 BOOK BLURB: Everyone in the Gifted class has a secret, but Carter Street is the most mysterious student of all. He never speaks, and no one knows who he is or where he came from; they just know that like them, he's special. But there's something going on behind Carter's blank stare - something dangerous.
REVIEW: Each Gifted title follows a separate hero and brings their story to the fore, but what Marilyn does is keep them cohesive by placing all the characters in the same class at school. This allows each character to step up when their time comes but also allows them to play a role in each other’s tales.
What makes this series is not so much the superhero aspect but that the author passes the underlying message onto the reader. The message that no matter how different you are everything is within your power to make a difference and that everyone is special. It’s a journey of discovery, it’s a journey that each must take and it’s a journey where personal enlightenment is often the goal at the end. Beautifully written, great pace and encouraging for all, this series is one that really should be enjoyed by readers.
Release Date: 03/09/10 BOOK BLURB: Teenage werewolf Trey is facing the most important and dangerous mission of his life. He must journey into the dark Netherworld and rescue Alexa, daughter of his vampire guardian Lucien, who is being held hostage by a powerful demon lord. But strength and courage alone are not enough to succeed - instead Trey must 'win' both their freedoms by participating in a death-match against his deadliest nemesis yet. The forces of evil are stacked against him and Trey can only be certain of one thing...one of them will die.
REVIEW: This was a title that I wasn’t sure which way it would go. It had potential to be a story of eco discovery, the potential to be a tale of emotional as well as worldly knowledge as well as possibly becoming a hodge podge of too many idea’s and not enough substance.
What actually happens within is a novel that takes the reader through the emotional wringer and also has a message about mankind’s influence on nature and what we should be doing rather than what we are.
This is a title that’s more for the older reader and one that will play with the heartstrings, emotional, inventive and about all else one that will make you think.
Release Date: 16/09/10 BOOK BLURB: Pack life is about order, but Bryn is about to push all the limits, with hair-raising results. At the age of four, Bryn watched a rabid werewolf brutally murder her parents. Alone in the world, she was rescued and taken in by Callum, the alpha of his pack.

But the pack's been keeping a secret, and when Bryn goes exploring against Callum's orders, she finds Chase, a newly turned teen Were locked in a cage. Terrifying memories of the attack on her parents come flooding back. Bryn needs answers, and she needs Chase to get them. Suddenly, all allegiances to the pack no longer matter. It's Bryn and Chase against the werewolf world, whatever the consequences. A thrilling new YA adventure, with an electrifying link between a tough heroine and an exciting boy-were at its heart, Raised by Wolves will leave you howling for more.
REVIEW: A fun frolic with three unforgettable characters, cat, mouse and dog who prove that an ordinary life, can be something special and that no matter what the argument, friendship is a bond that is far stronger than anger.
It’s fun, the characters are memorable and as a modern fable it’s beautiful. Great fun for any reader and a title that will be requested time and again by the young adult in your life especially when backed with the beautiful accompanying colourful artwork. Definitely an author to watch.
Release Date: 02/09/10 BOOK BLURB: Take a giraffe with a magic neck, a pelican with a retractable beak and a very agile monkey, and what do you have? The world's finest Ladderless Window-Cleaning Company, of course! Add in their friend Billy, the Duke and Duchess of Hampshire and the Cobra, the cleverest and most dangerous cat-burglar in the world, and you have all the ingredients for a deliciously funny tale - all in the pursuit of walnuts, salmon and the pink and purple flowers of the tinkle-tinkle tree, not to mention the Grand Opening of The Grubber...
REVIEW: A Dahl title I hadn’t eard of prior to it’s landing, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. What does occur however is a tale about friendship, about fortune and how good deeds are not only their own reward.
The story is fascinating, the combo of the friends not only quirky but a stupendous mix and I don’t thin anyone but Dahl could have combined it them to the level of success that is achieved within.
Overall a great offering and when the artwork of Quentin Blake is added, one that will be enjoyed a number of times. Definitely worth the hardback price although, personally, I think that some of the shorter offerings should have been combined in a twofer type of value for money title.
Release Date: 02/09/10 BOOK BLURB: Danny lives with his dad in an old gipsy caravan behind a filling-station. Danny's dad is the best - a wonderful mechanic, a brilliant storyteller and a genius at kites. But, as we all learn as we get older, grown-ups can be complicated creatures, and so it is that one day, when he is nine years old, Danny discovers that his dad has a deep, dark secret. It is a secret that is just about to lead them on a dangerous and thrilling adventure...
REVIEW: This was perhaps my first Roald Dahl read so is one that will always have a place in my heart with fond memories attached. Whilst it’s not my favourite, that first title that brings you to a new author who will become a childhood friend for a number of years will always have a special place and be one that you can recall what you were doing the first time you read it.
This offering, which unfortunately is now pretty dated, is beautifully written with characters that could just step off the page and appear to the readers imagination. Back that up with a great villain, a bold daring plan and an overall arc that is not only impressive but a standard for others to follow and you’ve got another tale that is worth the price of hardback.
Release Date: 02/09/10 BOOK BLURB: George's grandma is a grizzly, grumpy, selfish woman with pale brown teeth and a small puckered-up mouth like a dog's bottom. Four times a day she takes a large spoonful of thick brown medicine, but it doesn't seem to do her any good. She's always just as horrid after she's taken it as she was before. So when George is left alone to look after her one morning, it's just the chance he needs...
REVIEW: I originally read this title a few years ago and enjoyed this book as George, the tales hero, invented a marvellous concoction that did all sorts of magical things.
As usual with Dahl, the tale is beautifully written, the characters something that children can identify with and backed with a sprinkle of the Dahl magic you get a story that will satisfy the young reader. All in a great story and when backed with a hardback finish one that will stand the test of multiple rereads which will most assuredly happen.
Release Date: 02/09/10 BOOK BLURB: The Grand High Witch of all the World has gathered together the witches of England for an annual conference at the Hotel Magnificent in Bournemouth. Their agenda is the elimination of all the children in the country and the prospects for their young victims look bleak. But the Grand High Witch and her cronies have reckoned without the spark and ingenuity of a young guest at the hotel and his rather brilliant grandmother...
REVIEW: Perhaps one of Dahl’s most recognisable books especially as the film stars Anjelica Huston. Beautifully written, Dahl blends magic, folklore and a tale (or tail later in this offering) to entertain the reader for a great many tellings. Ideal material for the young reader or one that can be read together to help encourage the young readers love of books.
I had an absolute blast reacquainting myself with this Dahl offering as well as imagining the fun my nephews will have when it is their turn. Pure Dahl Magic.
Release Date: 02/09/10 BOOK BLURB: When Sophie is snatched from her bed in the middle of the night by a giant four times as tall as the tallest human, she thinks she is about to be breakfast. But luckily for Sophie, her giant is the only nice and jumbly giant in Giant Country, and the pair are soon thinking of ways to disappear the BFG's nasty neighbours...
REVIEW: This I have to say is my absolute favourite Dahl title. Beautifully written with the usual Dahl ingredients as he (the Big Friendly Giant that is) and Sophie save the world’s children from the evil giants and bring the world of dreams to the reader in a new an virtually unseen manner.
Add to the mix Blake’s artwork, the great film accompaniment and the chance for Readers to escape this mundane world for the budgetless one of imagination which demonstrates why Dahl will continue to be a favourite for years to come.
A real joy and with the pure fun of a childhood revisited one that I’ll re-enjoy a number of times with my nephews.
Release Date: 02/09/10 BOOK BLURB: Mr Hoppy, a retired bachelor, harbours a secret passion for his neighbour, the lovely Mrs Silver. Unfortunately, she lavishes all her affection on another...Alfie, her pet tortoise. Mr Hoppy's wildly ingenious plot to defeat his rival and win the love of his lady will delight and amaze, involving as it does a cryptic riddle and no fewer than a hundred and forty tortoises, large and small.
REVIEW: Another re-release in hardback from the perennial children’s favourite, where, in this offering, love conquers all. It’s beautifully creative, has some magical moments and with the indomitable artwork by Quentin Blake, you know that it’s definitely a title to treasure.
My only complaint with this book is that it seems a bit short weighing in at a low 60 pages for the price. Whilst Dahl fans will still love this book and want to add it to their collection I do feel a little cheated at its low number and felt that it might have made a nice addition to another tale by the author as a bonus book so to speak which would have felt fairer. Still a great addition to any child’s library and one that will definitely entertain.
Release Date: 02/09/10 BOOK BLURB: Mr and Mrs Twit are extremely nasty, so the Muggle-Wump monkeys and the Roly-Poly bird hatch an ingenious plan to give them just the ghastly surprise they deserve.
REVIEW: This is another of my childhood favourites and one that clearly demonstrates that perhaps no other author has ever had such an insight into children’s minds as that of Roald Dahl. We all may not be the pretty ones or the smartest, but we all have something special about us and we shouldn’t judge others is the message within this title.
It’s a cracking story and one that has remained with many readers since their childhood and will remain with the next generation even longer. A real treat and one that will demand a reread time and again. Definitely something special and one that we really can’t recommend enough.
Release Date: 02/09/10 BOOK BLURB: Matilda Wormwood is an extraordinary child with thoroughly ordinary and rather unpleasant parents, who are contemptuous of their daughter's prodigious talents. But underestimating Matilda proves to be a huge mistake, as they, along with her vile headmistress Miss Trunchbull, are soon to discover...
REVIEW: OK, so this title by a firm children’s favourite was a bit after my time but I have memories of my younger sister getting a lot of pleasure from this book. Due to this (and also having seen the film) I had high hope for this, my first reading of this Roald Dahl title and with the bonus of it being reprinted in Hardback it seems the publishers think that you’ll get a lot out of it as well. So what did I get for my time?
What occurs within is a story that is brought together with the usual Dahl magic. You get wonderful story telling that seems almost effortless, you get great characters, devilishly evil villains and the message that brains, courage and justice prevail.
Add to the mix a great story, some truly memorable magic and a feisty heroine and you know that it’s got all the ingredients for a magical reading experience that demonstrates that even 20 years after his death, why Dahl is a master to set standards by.
