The Wolf Wilder by Katherine Rundell

A great children’s book but more than that, a great story book, about Feo and her wolves, and fighting the enemy intent on her destruction

The story of Sam and Sadie principally, and a friendship that endures rifts and crises, set in the world of computer programming and gaming

A book for our times, where the traditional roles and perceptions of women are discussed through the lives of Tara, Cam and Stella

A coming-of-age book about a boy with extraordinary abilities who embarks on a quest to find his father when he disappears

When Abi is offered the chance of a new life, she hopes it will fill the gap left by the death of her twin, but will it give her that?

A novel based on history and “The Last Duchess”, a poem by Robert Browning – intense and dark, and highly evocative of Renaissance Italy

The best book that I have read this year – a funny, warm, unique book with a biting message about how women should carve their own path

Funny with a good-paced narrative, enough mystery to keep you reading and twists to keep you guessing, Ruby Fox’s book is a great read

An interesting novel philosophically speaking which is thought-provoking but, at times, challenging to read

A thriller based around the disappearance of a baby from her home while her parents are partying next door – tense and twisty
