Review: 44 Tiny Secrets

If you’re looking for a sweet, fun read for the summer holidays, look no further!

Review: A Sprinkle of Sorcery

I loved the first book in this spooky, magical series, and A Sprinkle of Sorcery is even better!

Review: The Winterborne Home for Vengeance and Valour

As a teen I was a big fan of Ally Carter’s Gallagher Girls series, which is set in an elite boarding school that’s a front for a training academy for spies – they were a lot of fun! Since they were heavy on the teen drama, I was interested to see that she’d turned her hand to middle grade with her new book, The Winterborne Home for Vengeance and Valour.

Review: Orion Lost

I don’t see a lot of middle grade science fiction – certainly not space-based! – so I was really intrigued when Orion Lost showed up unannounced on my doorstep… It’s a really enjoyable rollick of a spaceship adventure!

Review: Double Double Toil, and Trouble Fires Burn

It’s been quite a while since I reviewed Cauldron’s Bubble, the first book in the Shakespeare-inspired Netherfeld trilogy, but today I’m finally wrapping up the trilogy with a review of books two and three!

Review: The Monster in the Lake

One of my favourite middle grade reads last year was The Dragon in the Library, which was a brilliantly fun and funny book about wizards and dragons and libraries and friendship. Today I’m reviewing the just-as-awesome sequel, The Monster in the Lake!

Review: Jinxed

Jinxed is a romp of a book, sitting perfectly at the upper MG/lower YA bound and with a fun focus on technology and the future!

Review: The Bone Garden

If you like your stories spooky, dark, and full of the power of love and self-belief, then you can’t let yourself miss The Bone Garden!

Review: Twelve Minutes to Midnight

Taking as its subject and inspiration the Victorian penny dreadful, Twelve Minutes to Midnight is unlike any middle grade I’ve read before!

Review: The Conspiracy of Magic

Swashbuckling swordswoman Cass is back in the sequel to The Company of Eight!
