|summary=It was the sort of thing that happened every day, although not to Leila Syed. She'd never driven her nephew, Max, to school before but his father, Andrew Hanson, had rung her in a panic. He was supposed to be taking Max to school but he'd been called into work and the delay in getting there could lead to financial losses. As the school was only five minutes out of Leila's way, could she drop him off? Of course, she could and a sleeping Max was duly strapped into the back of her car. On the way Leila took a phone call - there was panic at her work too, with a problem which could put a multi-million-pound contract at risk.

|title=Nelson's Folly
|rating=2.5
|genre=Historical Fiction
|summary=The story of Admiral Nelson – who never actually achieved that rank, but only ascended to Vice Admiral – is one of the best known in English history. Despite our history teachers' best efforts there are very few battles that most of us can name. Dunkirk, Battle of Britain, Hastings…if we live in the north then Flodden, Bannockburn, Culloden…it probably takes an interest in maritime things to know of the Battle of the Nile and the siege of Malta…but just about every English person knows about Trafalgar. They may not know where it is and what it was about, but we know (if only from the Square and the Column) that it was a mighty victory and that Nelson was in command.
