Adam Murray (Wales, Midlands & North) recommends…..

AdamMurrayForces of Nature by Brian Cox

“‘Why is the sky blue?’, ‘Why is the Earth round?’, and ‘Why is every snowflake different?’ – These are the sort of questions that my 8 year old asks me every morning over his bowl of porridge and which I fail miserably to answer to his satisfaction! Help is at hand though, as this is the subject of Brian Cox’s stunning new book written to coincide with a major BBC1 TV series airing in March. Brian travels the globe from the Caribbean to the Arctic to answer the fundamental questions about our planet and the Universe beyond.”

Mike Lewis (London & South East) recommends…..

MikeLewisGRRRR! by Rob Biddulph

“This book is already popular and I’m expecting the paperback to be an even bigger hit with booksellers. Rob has established a good track record with sales of his first book, Blown Away, and he’s produced another loveable character in Fred the Bear in GRRRRR! I’m sure his popularity will continue as the book has bright, bold illustrations and a fun story which children are going to love to read or have their parents read to them, over and over again.”

Ann-Marie Dolan (Irlenad & Northern Ireland) recommends…..

AnnMarieFlawed by Cecelia Ahern

“Cecelia’s first YA novel, Flawed, is set in a world where imperfections are punished severely, perfection is revered, and there is no grey area in between. For Celestine, all she wants is to be perfect, go to university, and follow through on her plans with her boyfriend, Art. All this changes with a split second decision in which she shows compassion for a flawed, and her life is turned upside-down. This is a riveting, high-tempo novel which will keep you gripped to the very end.”
