It’s a really good book to read in your spare time. CK (S2) *****
“I will tell you a story of the greatest hero who ever lived, and how he brought his people to a new age of peace and joy”
When a young Dragon is hatched imperfect his mother must abandon him into the world to find his own way and rely on those he meets.
If you are a confident reader and enjoy epic fantasy like Tolkien you will probably like this. The characters are relatable and there is plenty of action with a few twists in the tale. I hope there will be more to come in the Drakkonsaga. Miss McGill, Library *****
A good book with dragons, humans, dwarfs and other creatures. It’s all about a dragon who looks, and is, different than the rest of his kind. He’s smart and compassionate, this book joins him on his adventures across the land. LD (S1) *****

After 10 years of operation and visitor rates declining, in order to fulfill a corporate mandate, a new attraction is created to respark visitor’s interest, which backfires horribly.

It’s the best of the five Jurassic’s It’s not for the people who get scared. C.S. (S2) *****
A boy. A wolf. The legend lives on.
Viper’s Daughter is the seventh book in the award-winning series that began with Wolf Brother, selling over 3 million copies in 36 territories. Like them it can be read as a standalone story.
For two summers Torak and Renn have been living in the Forest with their faithful pack-brother, Wolf. But their happiness is shattered when Renn realizes Torak is in danger – and she’s the threat.
When she mysteriously disappears, Torak and Wolf brave the Far North to find her. At the mercy of the Sea Mother and haunted by ravenous ice bears, their quest leads them to the Edge of the World. There they must face an enemy more evil than any they’ve encountered.
I had a nice surprise earlier this year when I found out there was going to be a new book in the series and I wasn’t disappointed. I re-read the first 6 books recently and Viper’s Daughter is every bit as absorbing as the rest. The story rarely slows down and there are plenty of twists along the way. Miss McGill *****

Containing volumes 1, 2 and 3 of Bleach. Ichigo Kurosaki has always been able to see ghosts, but this ability doesn’t change his life nearly as much as his close encounter with Rukia Kuchiki, a Soul Reaper and member of the mysterious Soul Society.

Now a full-fledged Soul Reaper himself, Ichigo quickly learns that the world he inhabits is one full of dangerous spirits, and along with Rukia–who is slowly regaining her powers–it’s Ichigo’s job to protect the innocent from Hollows and help the spirits themselves find peace.

It is really good, this is one of my favourite books. B.R. (S1) *****
This may look like just a completely and utterly ordinary book.
But it’s not. This book knows something terrifying: that the people of Earth face their gravest, grimmest threat yet! When Hamish finds his mum and his brother floating ON THE CEILING, he knows there’s something seriously wrong (again) in the town of Starkley.
What is the strange burping noise he keeps hearing? Why are weird seeds suddenly falling from the sky? And should he be worried about the odd woman with a cone around her neck? All Hamish and his gang the PDF can be sure of is that an adventure is coming. And that means two things:1. You have to be prepared. 2. You have to prepare a sandwich.
OK book, quite predictable. R.B. (S2) ****
