 Where the Fairies Fly - Jane Simmons
 Where the Fairies Fly - Jane Simmons ... fairies on a glittering cover, this is the perfect read for all fairy fanatics. Lucy's little brother Jamie can't sleep. He keeps seeing things in the shadows on the ceilings. We need to find the Sleep Fairies, Lucy tells him. And so they fly far away across the ocean to the land where the fairies fly.Newest Review: ... a favourite, especially as my daughter shares the name of the lead character Lucy. The book is 30 pages long, with some ... more ... pages having only one sentence, and others having a few. The pages are quite large and good quality paper, coated in the plasticy substance often found in children's picture books, which increases it's durability.
I really like the writing style of this book. It's a mix of short snappy sentences and longer descriptive ones. This enables me to read it in an atmospheric and interesting way, easily getting into the characterisation. Of course this means it's all the more interesting for my daughter to listen too.

Fun, lovely bright photography, push out characters 
Losing the pieces!! a great concept for children's inaginations magnets easy to lose Great characterisation, plot, interesting narration, realistic characters The fact that it ends...I wanted to know more about Gem and what she does next good story and illustratios, very practical none! Ideal size for little hands, it also helps with learning about animals. The pages are a bit flimsy so are easily prone to tearing.Anansi Boys - Neil Gaiman
Wonderfully amusing and entertaining. Not quite as funny as "Good Omens". But then, what is?
The Corporation - Joel Bakan
Makes valid point in a engaging, convincing and rational way One idea book, only American cases, takes environmentalists lobbying at face value
Gaia: A New Look at Life on Earth - James Lovelock
Interesting idea Unconvincing argument
The Last Battle - C.S. Lewis
Beautiful story, lovely characters, fairytale. Very very preachy, bad messages at times, sometimes a little racist.
Frankie Makes a Friend - Tony Bradman
Wild Fire - Nelson DeMille
Interesting story and addictive characters, Wasn't too keen on the style of writing to begin with
The Ballad of Halo Jones Book 1 - Alan Moore
Excellently realised futuristic setting encourages the reader's total immersion. Slow pace, lack of traditional comic action and alienating local jargon will deter casual readers.
Eyes of Prey - John Sandford
Good pace, thrilling story Bad guys too cartoonish, unbelieveable?
