Nora and the Map of Mayhem by Joseph Elliott

Nora and the Map of Mayhem by Joseph Elliott

Nora and the Map of Mayhem is a laugh-out-loud child’s, fiction book with character growth and development throughout. Joseph has you gripped from the start with hilarious anecdotes and beastly monsters that you can picture vividly in your mind.
The Tindims of Rubbish Island and the Deep Sea Treasure by Sally Gardner

The Tindims of Rubbish Island and the Deep Sea Treasure by Sally Gardner & Lydia Corry

The Tindims of Rubbish Island and the Deep Sea Treasure is a lovely story written with great imagination. It is easily accessible and written in dyslexia friendly font. I also enjoyed the way each chapter is summarised before it starts.
Aya and the Star Chaser by Radiya Hafiza

Aya and the Star Chaser by Radiya Hafiza

Aya and the Star Chaser is beautifully entwined with traditional Bengali folklore. This gothic fairy tale explores good versus evil, the love of family and conquering the darkest of enemies.
