Sour Apples: A Novel For Those Who Hate To Read by Paul Jantzen

A book of boys and baseball which rolls along at a fair old pace, with humour, cracking dialogue and scrapes and incidents galore

I loved this book: the atmosphere, the people, the story, the pacing, the conclusion. Do I need to say more?

A wonderful book compiled from a collection of letters, depicting the time Isabella Bird spent in the Rockies in the 1800s

A truly original story which gives a “curse” cognitive function and personality as it tries to survive in the face of its enemies

Friends perform a ritual, entering their treasured items into a box buried in the woods. It must remain undisturbed or… So who opened it?

Malouf retells, in his own words but with the air of the original Homer, the story of Priam and Achilles and the ransom for Hector’s body

A novel based on the life of the author’s uncle, spanning the 20th century and describing a life of variety and adventure

A great fantasy opener from Krystal Bailey, which promises much more, with tense action, great characters and a world easy to visualise

A story of universal domination set in a futuristic sci-fi world but also an examination of a controlling and damaging relationship

A novel which is a mixture of fairytale, historical fiction and thriller, which explores immortality and the ambitions of man to acquire it
