Book Rating
The kick off to a young adult line of mystery novels featuring the Brig's granddaughter Lucy Wilson, this has the set-up feel of the Sarah Jane Adventures, with a slightly more adult tone. Not much more, as these are designed to be aimed at the younger set, but feel more Doctor Who in the peril thrown at our heroine. An enjoyable read that also manages to expand the Brig-verse. Highly recommended! For more, visit www.travelingthevortex.com

Fantastic young-adult adventure
In this book you follow Torak, a young boy, who develops an incredible relationship with a wolf pup. Together they go on an amazing adventure. Full of twists and turns. The author is extremely good at descriptive writing, as you read this you can really picture the scenes. This took me 2 days to read, that's how good it is.

Feel good book
This book is such a feel good book and is probably very relatable for a lot of young people, it shows how its okay to be different and that just because you stand out from a crowd doesn't mean you can't do the things that everyone else is doing. Dumplin' is a well written, relaxing and easy read for any young adult
