Skellig, by David Almond.
It didn't take me long. Right from the first chapter I was hooked. Very quickly, the author introduced his main characters and a sense of mystery. I had to keep going right to the end to solve the mystery of Skellig. All I need now, is to discuss my ideas as to who or what Skellig is. So get reading so we can have a chat. Level 3.5

Frogkisser!, by Garth Nix. Top Juniors Only
I was so excited when I saw this book in the Education Library. I love Garth Nix and have read all of his books. Up until now they have not been suitable for Juniors. I couldn't put it down. A mix of fairy tale characters and a quest similar to that of the Hobbit. I highly recommend this book. Book Level 6
