Catherine Jinks
An adventure set among London’s dark places, where Birdie’s work as bait for monsters draws her into a mystery involving missing pickpockets, folklore and a more dangerous villain.
Greg Cox
This is a steampunk-tinged fantasy adventure about identity, political danger and survival. Its strongest appeal is likely Riese herself: capable, resistant to expectations and drawn towards action rather than courtly duties.
Anthony Horowitz
A brisk, gadget-filled spy adventure centres on Alex’s mission against Herod Sayle. Its appeal lies in danger, mystery and implausible ingenuity; its intensity comes from repeated threats, killings and peril rather than quiet character development.
Kara A. Kennedy
A tense ghost story about recognising coercive control and reclaiming independence. Its supernatural premise makes the lingering effects of manipulation vivid, while Maya’s anxiety and fear keep the suspense emotionally close.
Jennifer Killick
A creepy, energetic adventure that combines frightening creatures and suspense with banter, humour and an emphasis on four unlike students learning to support one another.
Gillian Cross
A suspenseful story about a teenager carrying adult responsibilities while secret activities and threatening communications pull her into another person’s scheme. Expect twists, uncertainty and a morally complicated power dynamic rather than a straightforward adventure.
Ellen Kushner
This is an interactive time-and-magic adventure: the reader’s decision about one box determines the route. Its strongest appeal is agency and replayability, rather than a single fixed plot.
Jenny Hughes
A seaside horse-riding holiday shifts from excitement to mystery and possible danger. Caitlin’s feelings about her mother’s absence sit alongside friendship, adventure and a shared effort to avert an unspecified disaster.
Nina Mansfield
This is a teenage mystery combining a potentially dangerous investigation with changes in Cathy’s family life, new friendships and a first crush. Its central appeal is the question of what happened in Beach Point and whether the suspected killer is responsible.
Robert Lawrence Stine
This is an 18-book horror-arc collection built around a theme park becoming increasingly frightening.
