Sophia recommends A Place Called Perfect by Helena Duggan.

It is about a character who has to find her dad in No Man’s Land. It’s really interesting!

Jessica recommends Tom Gates: Family, Friends and Furry Creatures by Liz Pichon.

It is really creative and fun to read. I like the pictures. It is adventurous and has mysteries!

Hugo recommends Captain Underpants and the Revolting Revenge of the Radioactive Robo-Boxers by Dav Pilkey.

It is really funny! There is a fliporama in the book which makes the images look like they move.

Eric recommends Demelza and the Spectre Detectors by Holly Rivers.

I heard Dermot O'Leary doing a "book interview" with a nine-year old girl about this book. She was fascinated by its mystery, Demelza's inventing skills (to include a machine hand that would write out her homework), it being partly a ghost store, but mainly, because she liked Demelza's character. I am about halfway through it and am thoroughly enjoying it!

Recommended for 9+.

Ned recommends Where's Wally by Martin Handford.

You have to find Wally and his travellers. You can do it with your friends and family and it is really fun.

Jack recommends The Young Bond series by Charlie Higson and Steven Cole.

It is a secret spy mission book and I really like it because there are a lot of thrilling adventures.

Recommended for 8+.

Isla recommends Riding Skills by Gaby Goldsack.

A horse book and it speaks about ponies as well.

Recommended for 6-7.

Ahlia recommends The Beast of Buckingham Palace by David Walliams & Tony Ross.

It's really funny there are some sad bits in it but it's really enjoyable and there's a happy ending!

Recommended for 8+.

Sophia recommends The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne.

It explains what war was really like for women/wives whose husbands were top soldiers and how they realised fighting was the wrong thing to do.

Recommended for 9+.

Jasmine recommends Wave Me Goodbye by Else Jacqueline Wilson.

It's such a good book. The illustrations are amazing. I love reading this book & it's all about evacuees and how this group of young children are looking around a small village for somewhere to stay.

Recommended for 11+.

Juliet recommends Little Bear's Friend by Else Holmelund Minarik.

This may be an old book (now out of print?) but it is a beautiful story about friendship, perfect for emerging readers. It has lovely illustrations by Maurice Sendak, simple vocabulary and sentence structures, and is broken into shorter chapters, so is not too daunting. There are other stories in the series, but this is my favourite!
