Sarah Naughton
Choose this for a reader who enjoys urgent thrillers, secrets and complicated teenage relationships. Its examination setting gives the suspense a tight time pressure, while grief and academic expectations add emotional weight.
Malcolm Duffy
This is a fast, emotionally charged story about risk-taking and its aftermath. Rory’s experience opens space to think about peer pressure, friendship, blame, accountability and whether people can rebuild trust after serious harm.
Josh Silver
This is a character-led dystopian thriller in which an apparently helpful happiness project becomes increasingly strange. Its strongest material concerns pressure, identity and the meaning of wellbeing; its ending is abrupt and leaves the story hanging.
Michael Rosen, illustrated by Tony Ross
This offers a contemporary child’s perspective on poverty and family difficulty, deliberately read beside Oliver Twist. Its strongest feature is the connection between classroom literature and problems affecting Shona’s life.
