David Lubar
Expect a character-led coming-of-age story rather than an action thriller: Cliff’s friendships, creative ambitions, family pressures and attraction to Jillian unfold through witty, self-aware narration.
Raphaël Fejtö
An engaging introduction to sanitation history, showing how changing toilet and sewage arrangements affected the handling of human waste in Rome, England and Paris.
Johnson, Rebecca
A playful introduction to mosquito development, following stages from egg to adult while connecting the insect’s transformation with life cycles and ecosystems.
This offers a fact-led way to explore how volcanoes and earthquakes are understood, supported by diagrams and photographs. It may suit a child who enjoys topic books, though the balance between explanation, imagery and humour is unclear.
Stephen Shaskan
A silly contest between Pizza and Taco turns food preferences into a question of friendship and winning. Its very short, joke-driven structure and visual presentation may suit shared reading and repeated participation.
Kieran Larwood
Expect a lively, illustrated fantasy quest built around an underdog team. The story combines dungeon challenges, comic world-building and a friendship arc, while Kit’s impulsive decision creates the central problem.
Derek Landy
This is a brisk supernatural adventure with a vulnerable protagonist, dangerous family revelations and a shifting group of companions. Its strongest feature is the contrast between witty dialogue and genuinely unsettling horror, though the story includes notably dark and graphic moments.
