REVIEWS:
Other Brother by Simon French Reviewer: Peggie Barnes
This is an amazing book! When Kieran's cousin Bon turns up out of nowhere, Kieran hates it. Bon is weird and Kieran doesn't like it. But over time he starts to realise how important it is to look after his strange new relative. I loved this book, although sometimes it seemed like it was going nowhere, but it soon came around. It was compelling and sounded so true. I hope there is a sequel! For ages 11-14 years.
Jimmy Coates: Killer by Joe Craig Reviewer: Justin Haugh
Jimmy Coates is a great book where a kid called Jimmy discovers he is actually only 38% human and he's the government's most shocking secret. Now he's on the run to find his sister and his parents.
