I thought that when my friend talked about the sexual scenes in this book, it was over the top. So when I read Forever by Judy Blume, I was enthralled by the moral education that teenagers could get from reading the story.

If you are a fan of short stories, and in particular ones with a focus on the strange and horrific, I suggest that you make it a specific point to check out Joe Hill’s 20th Century Ghosts to satisfy such a craving.

I picked this children’s fantasy novel up on a whim and I’m glad I did, as it’s truly an excellent book. Although fantasy, it was the mystery aspect of it that kept me reading. It shows how age isn’t important and that even a twelve-year-old child can be a …

Allen Synge’s extremely well researched book, “Sins of Omission”, is subtitled “The Story of the Test Selectors 1899 - 1990″, from which you will probably infer (and correctly so) that it is about cricket. In particular, it concentrates on those players who for various reasons - some of them …
