Michael Morpurgo
This is a wartime story about a child whose ordinary village life is disrupted by evacuation, military preparations and a missing cat. It combines danger, friendship and a later family connection across generations.
Roald Dahl
A fast, mischievous story about a child’s homemade medicine, comic disorder and rebellion against an unpleasant adult. Its humour depends on exaggeration, grotesque imagery and the reversal of adult authority rather than on model behaviour.
Philip Pullman
This is a brisk, fantastical adventure about determination, danger and becoming a firework-maker. Lila’s journey combines perilous tests, a family predicament and a spectacular public performance, with illustrations contributing to the imagined world.
Malorie Blackman
A brisk family adventure centres on Beans, her gadget-inventing father and a dangerous invention. Its main appeal is likely the combination of imaginative technology, a rescue mission and children taking determined action with friends.
Georgia Pritchett
This is a lively, illustrated adventure centred on a very worried boy who must respond when a neighbour announces a plan to destroy the world. Its humour turns danger into exaggerated, often absurd comedy.
Michael Rosen, illustrated by Viviane Schwarz
This is a fantastical animal adventure about longing, travel and uncertain friendships. Its mix of myth, magic and fairy tale may offer an imaginative journey, though the precise challenges and resolution are not known.
