|summary= When Mikey's dad dies, he stops caring about anything. Indeed, he becomes so desperate to feel something that he deliberately provokes the one person on the estate who no one messes with. Not surprisingly it ends badly and not just for him. Mikey's best mate also ends up in a pool of blood. But that doesn't matter because his friend has already lost something more important. He lost Mikey when his dad died and he's determined to find a way to bring his best friend back. That's why he sets off on a one boy crusade to find a way to help Mikey remember his dad. He just needs to find a movie, a radio extract, or a YouTube clip – something that will allow his friend to remember his dad's voice. Mikey's dad was an actor, so how difficult can it be?

|summary=Mum is setting off on a long car journey with two kids in the back - did I hear you groan? Mum groaned too because she ''knew'' what was going to happen. She told the kids before she set off that they had to behave because she couldn't drive properly if the kids were going ''mad in the back''. The kids told her not to worry - and off they went. Then the kids started ''The Moaning''. Every parent will know exactly what this means: requests for drink, food, windows open... Then the squabbling starts: accusations that ''HE'' has got my book, ears are bitten by ''HER''. Mum tries diversionary tactics: ''look out of the window - there's a lamp-post''. (Yes MUm - we know desperation when we hear it.) And it gets worse. And worse. Then Mum snaps.

|title=Honey and Me
|rating=4.5
|genre=Dyslexia Friendly
|summary=Most girls starting out Brook City School are hoping for something new and different, but Kirsten just wants things to be ''normal''. Even good things seem to come with a sting in the tail and worst of all, Mum and Dad are really not getting on. In fact Kirsten is happiest at school and does all the after-school activities she can manage just to keep away from home for as long as she can. Her elder brother, Finn, who's at sixth form college, is struggling too: what used to be thought of as ''cheeky'' at school has turned into ''disruptive''. When things get really bad Kirsten is suddenly reminded of her old friend Honey and wonders if she can get in touch with her.
