Looking for JJ by Anne Cassidy

Shortlisted for the Carnegie Award, and quite right too. Particularly interesting to read after the recent renewed interest in the Jamie Bulger killers. What is it like to take on a new identity? Pretty much a one day read.

The Last Gospel by David Gibbons

Really quite silly - particularly the conclusion, although I always feared it would be! - but fun as well, just what I wanted. A page turner, from Claudius to Pompeii, to Jesus, lots of my favourite subjects in there. Of course, the Church is the big baddie, and all a bit daft, but nevermind!

Magic: New Stories edited by JK Rowling

Magic little book of short stories, published to raise money for one parent family society. Wide variety of stories, just what I needed at that point in the term!
