ANONYMITY JONES

And then we saw the cover: our expectations were sky-rocketed! Stay tuned for a full length review of this excellent book.

ZERO HOUR: THE ANZACS ON THE WESTERN FRONT

THE PIPER'S SON

LITTLE PARADISE

WOW! What a premise! Sucked in already? That’s all it took me! And, apparently, LITTLE PARADISE is inspired by a true story...
JAMEELA
Rukhsana Khan
This novel, based on a true story, tells the powerful story of a girl in post-Taliban Afghanistan. Life is difficult, and when Jameela’s mother dies and her father remarries it becomes harder still. Beautiful, important (that means must-read) writing by an award-winning author.

A gripping new novel set in an alternate future. Will Hodges’ life is a mess. His mother is dead, he has no friends and he is being followed by a strange group of people who tell him they know him. At first Will can’t remember them but when he does, he uncovers the truth of who he is...
THE GIRL WHO COULD FLY
Victoria Lakema Forester
Piper McCloud can fly. Just like that. So she leaves her home to attend a top-secret, maximum-security school for kids with exceptional abilities, whose skills range from super-strength to super-genius. But Piper is special, even among the special. And there are consequences. Consequences too dire to talk about. Too crazy to consider. And too dangerous to ignore...
HEIST SOCIETY
Ally Carter
A stand-alone from the author of THE GALLAGHER GIRLS (to be made into a film). Kat would like to leave the family business. Fair enough! Not so easy if your family are a gang of exclusive world-class thieves though. The rest is top secret!
SCAT
Carl Hiaasen
An eco-thriller, with fun bits, set in Florida. What happens when an unpopular teacher goes missing and Nick and Marta set out to find her? It all involves the local troublemaker, an eccentric eco-avenger, a stuffed rat named Chelsea, a crooked oil prospector, a singing substitute teacher, and an angry panther. So, anything could happen, really!
More to come as time permits...
