Go on a journey with Thomas 'Tommo' Peaceful as he reminisces about his life from his childhood in idyllic rural England right through to the horrors of the Front Line. In turn both beautiful and heartbreaking, this story is one that will stick with you long after the final page.

Sent to live with her uncle in a mysterious mansion in Yorkshire, orphaned Mary is miserable and lonely until she finds out about a secret garden hidden somewhere in the grounds and sets out on a mission to find it!

This was one of my favourite books as a child, and it's still comforting today, even if the language and views are rather outdated!

The second in the His Dark Materials trilogy sees our heroine Lyra finding a new ally, Will, in her quest to find her father and uncover the truth of the mysterious substance known as Dust. But there are powerful forces that don't want Lyra and Will to succeed and will stop at nothing to prevent them.
An excellent book but be sure to read The Northern Lights first or it won't make much sense!

Taken by his parents from his comfortable home in Berlin to a strange new house next to a huge wire fence, 9-year-old German boy Bruno strikes up an unexpected friendship with a Jewish boy named Shmuel who lives on the other side of the fence...
An excellent thought-provoking and at times haunting book. Highly recommended.

I cannot state how good this book is, although it is not for the squeamish.
