|title=Star Wars: Galactic Atlas
|rating=3.5
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=At the time of writing this review, people are eagerly tapping away at phones, laptops and screens everywhere to find out what they can about ''Rogue One'', the ''Star Wars'' film that's the first live action cinema effort to be off to one edge of the canon, and is five whole weeks away. Perhaps, however, there is a chance that all the many books being released that mention the ability to tie in to ''Rogue One'' will let slip something important. The volume at hand ''includes a map from…'' said movie, and all the maps here initially seem to feature a huge amount of information. Could valuable secrets be herein?

|summary=My mother has long complained that nature programmes too often concentrate on the death and violence, or how it's all about the capture and killing of one animal by another. She's long had a point, but [[Of Orcas and Men: What Killer Whales Can Teach Us by David Neiwert|killer whales]] swanning by doing nothing, and lions sleeping off the heat without munching on a passing wildebeest's leg really don't cut it when it comes to providing popular TV content. I doubt she will be tuning in to the series this book accompanies, even if the volume very quickly testifies that it's not all about the capture – often the chase can be just as thrilling, and the result for the intended victim is favourable.

|title=Doctor Who: The Dangerous Book of Monsters
|rating=5
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=It's imperative you keep up with The Doctor, in both senses – meaning in case the first thing he tells you to do is ''Run!'' and in the sense of following all his various adventures and maintaining knowledge of what's what and who he's faced, enemy-wise. One great way to be enemy wise is to peruse this book, which really is a great present for the young fan – and of course a life-saving manual for when you yourself find sharks in the fog, gas-mask wearing boys ''sans'' their mothers or indeed gigantic Cyberking dreadnought spacecraft. Honestly, why this is classed as a fiction title I have no idea…
