No Grey Areas for Kirsty
by Kirsty1

Advantages: Absolutely magical tale.
Disadvantages: There are only 2 books by this author. I wish there were at least a dozen.

My youngest is very fond of dragons right now, but so many of the Western stories are about dragon slaying. We have started to look for Eastern dragon stories because the dragon is a symbol of power, protection, prosperity and good luck in Asian culture. ... Read review

What ages would you say this book was suitable for? I think my daughter would like the meanings behind the message in the story but she's 10; I don't know how old your son is, so it might be too young for her. by Elysia2003

Famous Mexicans If someone asked me to name a Mexican artist my short list from which to choose would not be a long one. In fact, if I’m entirely honest about my ignorance my list of ‘famous Mexican artists’ stretches to only two names; those of Frid ... Read review

I picked this book up in Asda when my youngest daughter spotted it whilst out shopping, the book was on sale when they were having their character promotion and costs us £3 which seems a decent value price to me. Our Asda no longer sells the book but not ... Read review

Advantages: Evocative setting; can be read as a stand alone
Disadvantages: Missing Carson's brother; weak plot

JA Kerley’s ‘Carson Ryder’ novels are my guilty reading pleasure; a bit like your favourite takeaway, there’s instant gratification followed by a sense of shame. For gruesome crime scenes and a body count that grows faster than weeds on a badly laid patio ... Read review

‘The Little Book of the 1960s’ is one of a series from The History Press. Most of the other ‘Little Books’ deal with specific cities and counties, and this is the first to focus on a specific era. For many of us from a certain generation, it was arguabl ... Read review

Minor errors aside it sounds really good. I was born in the mid-60s, but many of the things you mention were still around in the 70s when I became more aware of the world around me. I can even remember sitting with my Mum and looking through the Green Shield Stamp catalogue... by jonathanb

Advantages: A beautifully presented first hand account of life in the Lodz Ghetto
Disadvantages: Disadvantage? That such a thing should ever have been allowed to happen
