"This wonderful book touches the heart of the reader. It is the sequel to War Horse, and I think it is just as good. The lovely countryside setting is a perfect place for the story. I think that it is a good ending to the story of Joey and Corporal. Furthermore, the relationship between the grandson and Grandpa is so touching and realistic. Michael Morpurgo has certainly struck a century with this book" - SaiWish0221 (8-12) Photograph: PR
"My Sister Jodie was a brilliant book. Why I say this is because at the end it makes you have two emotions at once. In fact, opposite emotions: sad and happy. Jodie falls out of the tower window and dies. That's sad. Pearl has a new baby sister. That's good. That brings me to my second reason for why this was such a good book. It's the first book I've read that has the reader as a character in the book. Everyone should read this book!" - SpeedyReader (8-12) Photograph: PR
Heroes of Olympus: Son of Neptune This is my favourite of the Heroes books. It is funny, adventurous and exciting. It is never boring. There are lots of jokes which I really like. I think these books are as good as Harry Potter, and good for boys and girls to read. I'm pleased that this is definitely not the end of the series - LUCA777 (teen) Photograph: PR
My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece "I have read a lot of books in my life and in every single book I have read I have found some little mistake, some little flaw, which just mars your enjoyment of the book a bit. And so on opening this book, I prepared to bring my expertise of 11 years into use. This book has had so many good reviews from numerous prestigious people but surely I could find something to improve in it? But however much I tried, I am absolutely delighted to say I could not!"

Snakehead "This book is a thriller that blossoms with danger at every step. Anthony Horowitz certainly brings out the gruesome and brutal relationship between the Snakehead and the refugees … It is a book that you can read over and over again without getting bored" - Krazy Kesh (8-12) Photograph: PR
"David Walliams presents to us another hilarious book for kids about the one thing young people think is boring – their grannies … It's a really funny book and the relationship between Ben and his Gran is really sweet, you wish your granny were like her. It's hilarious and will make you cry." - Patrick (teen) Photograph: PR
"The story has everything you want from an adventure: animals, beautiful rainforest and snobby, spoiled little brats of cousins. This is a touching book, and it shows what friendship, perseverance and lots of other things really are. I loved this book, so hopefully you will enjoy it as much as I did."

"This series is a prequel to the Cherub books and it is just as good, so it's perfect for fans of Cherub. This is a totally brilliant book, there are no flaws whatsoever and it works amazingly as a standalone. I would rate this book 10/10. I really look forward to reading the rest of the series." - Isaac260 (8-12) Photograph: PR
"The book contains a big sadness in it as well as lots of tension, so it would be a good idea to have a box of tissues ready when you start reading. It will take you away from Scotland past the Straits of Gibraltar to the Sahara desert." - Lottielongshanks (8-12) Photograph: PR
"Enid Blyton's writing is very good, she invents very exciting places and adventures for her characters to have. Silky was my favourite character, she's a fairy who makes amazing pop biscuits and lives in the Faraway Tree. She's always very kind. This is one of the best books ever and I would love to have a magical tree in my garden!" - ChristopherW (8-12) Photograph: PR
