The Sword in the Stone - T. H. White

Don't get this muddled with the cartoon version - they aren't aimed at the same audience.

This book is a classic. It tells the story of King Arthur's childhood, when he was known as Wart (to rhyme with art). His life is a journey into the unknown. Luckily, he has Merlin as a guide.

There's magic, mystery and excitement.

Don't miss out!


The Midnight Fox - Betsy Byars

A story for everyone. It's not just about animals and there's nothing soppy about this book. There's tension, excitement and lots of humour.

Tom doesn't want his parents to go on holiday without him. And he doesn't want to go to stay on his aunt's farm - especially since he's afraid of animals. In fact, Tom has a lot of fears.

But all that is set to change.

What is the midnight fox? What will happen when Aunt Millie's chickens are eaten? And how will Tom cope on his own?

To find out, read the Midnight Fox.


The Giggler Treatment - Roddy Doyle

If this book doesn't make you laugh, then pinch yourself because you're still asleep.

The Big Football Series - Rob Childs

When you pick this book up you won't want to put it down. As soon as you start reading it, you will picture the scenes straight away. When you get stuck in, you will never want to stop reading it!

There are a series of these books and they're all very good.

Phantom Football - Rob Childs

Anyone who likes football will love these books.

In Soccer Shadows - Tom is bored on holiday, until he meets Leo - a mysterious barefoot boy. Leo invites Tom to take part in a football tournament on the beach.

There are two books in the series and they're both absolutely brilliant.




The Edge Chronicles - Paul Stewart & Chris Riddell

These books are the BEST. I picked up the first book, Beyond the Deepwoods, and I was completely lost in the world of The Edge. I'm sure you've heard this before, but no book can match how amazing these chronicles are. the main characters - Twig, Quint and Rook - have amazing adventures which involve sky ships, weird creatures and things that other writers couldn't imagine.

Will the Edge be destroyed or saved?

Read these books to find out - you won't regret it.

Kensuke's Kingdom - Michael Morpurgo

Have you ever imagined living on a desert island?

Read this book and you'll feel as though you've lived the dream. It really is that good.

The characters are brilliant - you'll feel as though you've met them. But be prepared for surprises. There are plenty of twists and turns in this wonderful story.

A truly original adventure.
