|title= The Wild Swans

|rating= 5

|summary= The most well known version of the wild swans is probably the one penned by Hans Andersen. This extended retelling by Jackie Morris adds depth, emotional resonance and a number of new twists to the tale. As in most versions, Eliza and her brothers live a happy and privileged life until their father's remarriage brings jealousy, mistrust and trouble in its wake. The brothers are magically changed into wild swans and it is up to brave Eliza to rescue them.

|summary=Ellie, Charlie and Mum have left Inchwood Manor and are headed home to London, where Mum's latest ''Journeyback'' project is renovating an old 18th century house, 47 Foster Square. But it's not quite ''home'' to London. They're not returning to their old house but to another tiny, cramped flat. When asked why, all Mum will say is, "Ask your father."

~~|title=The World of Norm: 9: May Still Be Charged~~

~~|rating=4~~

~~|genre=Confident Readers~~

|summary=If you ever wondered what Harry Enfield's Kevin going ''UUH, that's SO unFAIR!!'' but stretched to the length of a book sounds like then wonder no longer. Norm is only twelve but he already knows life is completely unfair. He has a horrid girl next door who annoyingly wants to spend time talking with him, he has two awful younger brothers, he has school, and he has a world of parents and adults around him all wittering on in the most weird, antique phrasing. They don't help him understand the world at all, just lay all the world's problems on his shoulders and move on. This morning in concern, for instance, Norm has hardly moved at all – he's still in bed when he's been grounded. His parents have looked up his phone bill online, and it's rather long. As long as Norm's entire list of woes, perhaps – and therefore is just one more thing that's a burden. And as life is so unfair, the only way out is to wait for his parents to decide between him paying them back or grounding him for a month – until something even worse, more unwelcome and more unfair gets mentioned…
