Patrick Ness
A lively choice for readers who enjoy school settings, eccentric threats and exaggerated comedy.
Kwame Alexander
A story of sporting ambition and family inheritance, shaped by segregation and racial prejudice. Its verse form brings rhythm to Charley’s determination, while historical danger and a consequential choice give the narrative emotional weight.
This is a themed sampler and guide to Shakespeare, not a complete sequence of play plots. It offers short passages, explanations, insults and one-liners, making it possible to explore individual ideas without reading every play first.
Jenny Pearson
A wartime adventure about loyalty and protection: Ronnie is troubled by his brother’s secret work for dangerous people, while bombs fall on London and the boys face choices about whom to trust.
Julia Green
A mysterious, nature-centred adventure about a child seeking greater independence. Its strongest appeal appears to be the combination of wild landscapes, secrets and emotionally charged relationships.
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.
Beth O’Brien
A magical, atmospheric fairytale retelling centred on Red’s curiosity, a threatened relationship between village and woodland, and questions about who is treated as dangerous. It combines mystery, grief, disability representation and collective strength.
Daniel Nayeri, Matt Rockefeller
Treat this as a grief conversation to share, not an automatically gentle choice because it is a picture book.
Philip Reeve
A choice for an adventure reader who actively enjoys dark machinery and combat; set it aside if bodily horror is something they want to avoid.
