![]() | Skulduggery Pleasant (Skulduggery Pleasant - book 1) by Derek Landy
Buy new: £4.86 / Used from: £0.05 Excellent book, but it's difficult to pigeon-hole the genre. I think it's best described as Horror/ Fantasy/ Magic/ Thriller/ Sci-Fi/ etc.

Buy new: £4.36 / Used from: £0.01 I read this book a few weeks ago, and thought it would make a great film. Then I found out it had already been done! If I read a book, I rarely watch the film/DVD. I'll make an exception with this one

![]() | Oscar Wilde Stories for Children by Oscar Wilde

|
![]() | The Problem Child (The Sisters Grimm - book 3): Bk.3 by Michael Buckley
Buy new: £4.35 / Used from: £0.95 Book 3 in the The Sisters Grimm series. Brilliant illustrations by Peter Ferguson, as always. The story is darker, and the descriptions of the young girl's pet, are enough to curdle the blood!

![]() | Once Upon a Crime (The Sisters Grimm - book 4): Bk. 4 by Michael Buckley

Buy new: £4.19 / Used from: £1.81 I'd forgotten all about this book. I have never read it, until now. It was first published in 1977. Although it's a picture book, I'd not recommend it for pre-schoolers. It's a true classic!
