Will picked this as he’d seen it in a bookshop . It’s a collection of myths that tell the creation of the world, the deeds of the gods and heroes such as Odin, Thor, Siegfried, the evil Lokio and many more.
Will found it "entertaining and informative and very easy to
read. Just awesome!" and suggests we buy it!

To be a cat by Matt Haig - reviewed by Lola
The main character is Barney Willow. Poor Barney feels that
life could not get any worse. He’s
weedy, with stick-out ears. He hates his teacher Miss
Whipmire, who he thinks is horribly mean and is the teacher from hell, and
another schoolboy torments him no end, the horrible Gavin Needle.
Everyone seems to want to make his life a misery and he has
no idea why. Barney thinks life would be so much easier if he were a cat. Next
morning Barney wakes up and is a cat and so the adventures begin.
Lola recommends this book - "it's odd but funny. The message is 'don’t take your life for granted'."

Celia and Alice share everything - their secrets, hopes and the increasing horror that a killer is on the loose and abducting schoolgirls just like them. Three bodies have been found, each shrouded in hand-woven fabric. From within the depths of a police investigation, clues are starting to emerge. But as Alice and Celia discover the truth, danger is closer than anyone knows. Who can be trusted?
Lily said the target audience is definitely teenage girls. Her recounting of the storyline really positions this book as a psychological thriller.
