Geoffrey Trease
An energetic historical adventure where two young performers move from local danger into espionage, using acting, observation and quick thinking while travelling between Cumberland and London.
Theodore Taylor
This is a survival adventure that places a frightened, newly blind boy in prolonged dependence on Timothy. Its strongest material concerns trust, practical resilience and the painful unlearning of racial prejudice.
Dan Freedman
This is a high-pressure family and sports story about twins whose ambitions, rivalry and difficult circumstances lead them towards separate dangers. It combines emotional conflict with themes of loyalty, adversity and recovery.
Madeleine L'Engle
An imaginative rescue adventure that places family devotion and personal difference at the centre of a struggle against mental control. It may particularly suit readers drawn to big moral questions alongside suspense and other-worldly travel.
Alan Garner
A richly imagined fantasy adventure built around pursuit, magic and peril. Its strongest features are atmospheric landscapes, caves, folklore-like creatures and energetic action; ideas matter less than the unfolding adventure.
This offers an energetic, imaginative quest combining Greek and Roman mythology, modern technology and recognisable British settings. Its strongest appeal is likely the blend of action, humour, inventive creatures and a determined central character.
