Chris Ould
This offers a fast-moving investigation with teen protagonists, police procedure and several connected criminal acts. Its strongest appeal is suspense, while its gritty treatment of crime may merit a parent–reader check-in.
Piers Torday
This is an adventurous, emotionally charged animal-led quest. It offers talking animals, friendship and humour alongside a bleak altered world, separated families, imprisonment, disease and threats to survival. The ending appears to open into a continuing story rather than resolving every possibility.
