|summary=''The Battle of the Sun '' is a beautiful follow up to Tanglewreck that serves almost as well as a standalone novel. Fresh, original and moving, it's the language in this novel that truly delights. Despite its challenge, recommended for keen readers of ten and up. Older tweens coming up to the 'first love' stage will love [[Love and Kisses by Jean Ure]]. Younger confident readers of a thoughtful disposition will love [[A Finder's Magic by Philippa Pearce and Helen Craig]] - the final story from one of the twentieth century's finest children's writers. Boys are going to love [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days by Jeff Kinney]], girls will love [[Fortune Cookie by Jean Ure|another Jean Ure book]] and both sexes will get a lot out of [[The Best of Times by Michael Morpurgo and Emma Chichester Clark]] and [[What's For Dinner, Mr Gum? by Andy Stanton]].
