Changing Places - Narinder Dhami

Will it be a Prince and the Pauper, dragged into the modern era by a smattering of references to Bay Blades?

Virtual Unreality - Terrance Dicks

I come to this book with baggage, the fact that I didn't even bother to focus the camera on the cover tells you all you need to know about my disdain for 'gamers'...

The Weirdstone of Brisingamen - Alan Garner

Black Hearts in Battersea - Joan Aiken

The French Connection - Anthony Horowitz

The Curse of Hackjaw Island - Scoular Anderson

A piratical romp, featuring unionised rats, a psychoanalytical parrot, talking skull, buried treasure and orphan children abandoned to the seas by their cruel aunt and uncle (could be a bit close to the bone for some kids?!). Some of the humour seemed to be directed at parents...Nice illustrations including pictorial cast of characters at the front.
