Library lion by Michelle Knudsen: "There's a lion in the library and no one knows what to do. There are rules about shouting. And rules about running. But there aren't any rules about lions!"

Diary of a fly by Doreen Cronin: Fans of Doreen Cronin's other Diary of ... books will love this. In this book we meet Fly's friends and family and find out, amongst other things, that there's no need for Fly to worry about the first day of school and the fact she eats only regurgitated food. Everyone eats regurgitated food! Yay!

New Jacqueline Wilson

Jacqueline Wilson is one of my favourite authors for children. She is such a prolific author and writes with real heart about issues that affect children's lives. Her latest book, My sister Jodie, is a touching book about sibling rivalry and friendship.
