Well, it’s been a crazy six months, but I’m finally back where I belong, working as a children’s specialist. Over the past month I’ve been knee-deep in books for children and young adults, which has been a pure delight. So much to read, and so few hours in the day! But the world of children’s publishing just gets stronger and stronger. So here are a few of the books I’ve particularly enjoyed over the past month…

I confess to always being a little sceptical when a celebrity turns to writing books for young people, but Simon Mayo has got it right in Itch, the first in a new series of action adventure novels. We start with Itchingham Lofte (Itch) having lost his eyebrows; he burnt them off by accident when he blew up his bedroom, experimenting with phosphorus. But that’s the least of his worries when his obsession with the chemical elements leads him to acquire a rock which is radioactive. His sleazy teacher in particular is very keen to get hold of it. With governments and gangsters on his tail, will he manage to get the rock somewhere safe, save his sister’s life and not die of radiation poisoning? It’s not looking good for our hero… This is genuinely tense stuff, with our protagonist in very real danger. Mayo isn’t afraid to portray serious threat and doesn’t talk down to his audience, making this a compulsive read. (Corgi, 2012, ISBN 978-0552565509).

Meanwhile my passion for spooky horror was very well met by Alex Bell’s Frozen Charlotte. Sophie and Jay download a Ouija board app and suddenly everything gets spooky – and by the next day, Jay is dead. Sophie is convinced that the spirit of her dead cousin Rebecca is responsible, so visits her remaining cousins on the Isle of Skye to find out the truth. Cameron, Piper and Lilias are seriously weird, and claim that a collection of tiny dolls called the Charlottes are possessing frozen charlotteBthem…  What’s really going on in that spooky house and are the dolls really capable of driving people to murder? This is a truly creepy story with some shockingly violent moments. Not to be read before bedtime! If you find dolls scary like me, this will freak you out. Just my sort of thing! (Stripes Publishing, 2015, ISBN 978-1847154538).

Tension of a different, but equally disturbing kind, is the theme of Becca Fitzpatrick’s Black ice, one for older readers. Britt thinks that one way to get over her broken heart is to go backpacking over the mountains with her best friend Korbie. She didn’t count on her ex, Calvin (Korbie’s brother), tagging along too. But before the girls get to the cabin on the mountains, a snowstorm forces them to abandon their car and take refuge in another cabin, where they meet handsome Shaun and Mason. Something’s not right about these guys… and suddenly the girls are taken hostage. black iceBBritt convinces them she knows the mountains well and is their only hope of escaping whatever it is they’re running from. But forced outside, she has to fight to survive, and figures her only chance is to build a bond with Mason. But can he be trusted? Britt has to use every ounce of ingenuity as she tries to outwit her kidnappers, but when she’s falling for one of them, it’s harder to see the truth… Very tense story which I couldn’t put down, with a shocking twist in the tale – I did see it coming, but it was still utterly compelling and in no way spoilt the ending. (Simon & Schuster, 2015, ISBN 978-1471118166).

seedBSeed by Lisa Heathfield is one of those stories that makes your skin crawl. Pearl lives a simple life at Seed and is looking forward to the day she’ll become a companion to Papa S. But then newcomers come, and Pearl feels an attraction to one of them, a boy called Ellis. He tells her that Seed is wrong, is evil, and that she must escape – but surely Papa S wants the best for all of them, even though he sends her to the Punishment Room…. A disturbing tale of life in a cult, with a horrifying ending. Not for the faint-hearted! (Electric Monkey, 2015, ISBN 978-1405275385).

Tim Bowler is a stalwart of young adult literature and Game changer is another excellent, gripping story. Mikey lives in his wardrobe. It’s safer there. Especially since the last time he dared to venture out, and saw something terrible. But now they know where he is and he can’t escape the flood of text messages threatening to kill him. Even at school he’s not safe. But then they take his sister Meggie, and Mikey is forced to confront his worst fears to try and save her. Gripping thriller that gives you a tense feeling right in your gut, as you wonder if Mikey and Meggie will survive… Impossible to put down, and like Mayo, Bowler does not shrink from putting his characters in very scary situations. (OUP, 2015, ISBN 978-0192794154).

Taking a totally different tack from the books above, Jasmine Warga’s My heart and other black holes is a tear-jerker. Aysel (pronounced Uh-sell) wants to end it all, but doesn’t want to do it alone. She meets a boy online who is also looking for someone to help him, and before long she and Roman have made a pact to commit suicide on April 6th. But in spite of herself, she starts falling for him – and realises that she has far more to live for than she ever imagined. But will she convince Roman in time? Very moving story that makes you cry, yet also makes you realise how precious life is; Warga’s story tackles a difficult subject with sensitivity and insight. (Hodder, 2015, ISBN 978-1444791532).

Margo Lanaghan in The Brides of Rollrock Island delves into folklore, another staple ingredient in children’s literature. Misskaella doesn’t look like the other pretty girls on Rollrock Island and is teased and bullied by them. But Misskaella has a secret – she can charm the seals on the shores into shedding their skins and becoming human. bridesBTo get her revenge on the girls who look down on her, she gives each young man a beautiful seal wife – for a price. But the selkies pine for the sea, and the strange, enchanting seal women of Rollrock Island will find a way to return to the water… A beautifully told tale, quite a challenging read, but if you are enchanted by fairy and folk tales this unusual story will capture your imagination just as Misskaella captures the seal women. (David Fickling, 2013, ISBN 978-1849921121).

Melissa Marr is one of my favourite young adult authors and her latest is Made for you. Eva’s the queen bee at school, with a coterie of loyal friends and a handsome boyfriend. Then she’s nearly killed by a hit and run driver. Not only scarred, she discovers that when someone touches her, she has a vision of their death, and not just that – she’s having visions of her friends being murdered. When the visions start to come true, she realises that the hit and run driver was a serial killer – and now he’s obsessed with Eva, and killing her friends to get closer to her. But can Eva’s visions save everyone she loves? And is the killer closer than she thinks? A very disturbing tale about love gone wrong, with adult content. (HarperCollins, 2015, ISBN 978-0007584208).

Kim Slater’s Smart is for fans of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night time. Kieran is a little bit different, which means that his stepfather Tony and stepbrother Ryan hate him. He spends his time down at the Embankment where he befriends homeless Jean, but when another homeless person is found dead in the river, he resolves to play detective and find out what happened. His investigations will lead him to fall foul of Tony and Ryan even more…  But Kieran is different, not stupid, and his quirky view on life sees more than anyone realises. Moving and satisfying story, very heartwarming. (Macmillan, 2015, ISBN 978-1447236672).

Another delightful spooky tale: Frances Hardinge’s The Lie Tree. In Victorian times, girls weren’t supposed to be clever – and Faith’s a clever girl, who takes after her scientist father. No one listens to her though, especially not her father. But then he then dies in mysterious circumstances, and Faith is convinced he was murdered. lie treeBShe discovers that her father had acquired a rare plant, which feeds on lies, and rewards the liar with visions revealing the truth of things. She starts to tell lies, big, dangerous lies, in the hope that she’ll find out who killed her father; but telling lies changes you. As Faith falls further in darkness, will she find the truth she seeks, and will it be too late to save herself? An unusual thriller with an unearthly twist; I really got lost in this one. (Macmillan, 2015, ISBN 978-1447264101).

And one for younger readers which I thoroughly enjoyed: Stitch Head: The beast of Grubbers Nubbin by Guy Bass. Stitch Head is a small, gentle monster living in the spooky Castle Grotteskew with lots of other monsters created by mad scientist, Professor Erasmus. Looking after a horde of hungry orphans is no easy task for the monsters; their attempts at cookery aren’t too successful to say the least! So they hatch a plan to steal the villagers’ food, food that’s being saved for the feast of Guzzlin’ Day, but they didn’t reckon on a wild and scary beast getting in their way… Mad and hilarious adventures with Stitch Head ensue! There is a whole series of these and they are a delight. (Stripes Publishing, 2015, ISBN 978-1847156099).beastB

The Ocean At The End Of The Lane by Neil Gaiman

Fantasy, Magic

Okay so I think this one is my favourite Neil Gaiman story. Read outside on a beautiful March day, it was like drifting into a weird dream, where not everything is comfy, some things are downright scary, but you trust absolutely that you’re in safe hands.

A young man returning home for a funeral has a sudden yearning to visit an isolated farm that he remembers from his childhood. Wasn’t there something odd about the duckpond? And the young girl who lived there – Lettie – whatever happened to her? And then he remembers…. The three women at the farm have always been there, ever since the Big Bang. And when creatures from beyond threatened his family, it was the women who battled them, with his help… And nothing was ever really normal again.

The imagery in this story is striking and memorable (aagh, the foot-worm!), and the way in which Gaiman builds up this magical tale enmeshed with the detail of everyday reality is breathtaking. It’s definitely one to read again and again, to delight in the precision of his words and the surety of his worlds. I’d been looking forward to reading it for ages, and it was one to savour, and it didn’t disappoint. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see a film version at some point in the future – it would sit well in the style of the animated Coraline, another of his masterpieces.

And just to make a point – I borrowed this from my local public library. I’m sure Neil would approve.

Unnatural Creatures – stories chosen by Neil Gaiman

Fantasy, Horror, Monsters, Short stories

Neil Gaiman can do no wrong in my opinion, and this anthology of beastly stories chosen by him is a real treat. The theme is encounters with creatures beyond reality, and is a varied mix of the humorous, the scary and the literary. It introduces us to manticores, cockatoucans, griffins and mermaids galore, in a rich tapestry of imagination from the finest short story writers.  It includes favourites such as Diana Wynne Jones and E. Nesbit alongside those who will be new to many readers, including Gahan Wilson and Nnedi Okorafor, who I’m definitely going to look out for. My favourite stories in this collection was the (unnamed) story by Wilson, in which a black blob moves around a stately home, gaining in size and menace; Sunbird by Neil himself, in which a group of gastronomic adventurers bite off more than they can chew; The Compleat Werewolf by Anthony Boucher, originally published in 1942 and still a powerful exploration of lycanthropy; and Come Lady Death by Peter S. Beagle, in which vain Lady Neville rashly invites Death to one of her society balls. It’s a strong collection of tales which will reward the reader who returns time and time again to dip into the magical world of these miraculous beasts, and is definitely a keeper on my bookshelves! Rating: ****

Fortunately, the Milk… by Neil Gaiman

Aliens, Dinoaurs, Fantasy, Humour, Pirates, Vampires

This book is a sheer delight. It follows the fortunes of Dad, as he pops out for a pint of milk and is waylaid by aliens, pirates, dinosaurs, volcano gods and vampires on his way home. But fortunately, the milk stays firmly in his possession and finally lands on the breakfast table, having helped save the world along the way!

This is Neil Gaiman at his inventive best, clearly having a ball. The story is jam-packed with wit and silliness, and the illustrations by Chris Riddell are perfectly matched – it’s quite clear who Dad is – and have oodles of child-appeal. The story reads aloud wonderfully, and is perfect for sharing at bedtime with young children. I loved the ending! This one is destined to be a children’s classic, and can be enjoyed by both children and their own wacky parents. Brilliant! *****

Adolescence, Faery, Fantasy, Magic, Science Fiction

Amongothers

This is so much the book I’d wish I’d written… an intriguing tale of magic melding with science fiction in the adolescence of a young girl; an elegy to libraries and to the power of words. Teenager Mori has run away from the Welsh valleys, from her malignant mother, and the death of her beloved twin sister, to find sanctuary with her father in England. Sent to boarding school, Mori immerses herself in her love of science fiction, and finds new meaningful connections with those that can share this passion for exploring space and time. But it is the other world of faerie that keeps pulling her back to her roots, and to a final confrontation with her mother.

Whether Mori’s encounters with the elemental fae are real or figments of her imagination doesn’t really matter, neither does her constant referencing of science fiction works (you don’t need to have read them all to understand!); this is a beautifully told story that really drew me in. Mori’s fierce intelligence and independence pull you along to believe every word of her narrative, and I eagerly devoured this story, desperate to know how it ended. And it’s a great testament to the transformative power of reading, and the importance of libraries – so a sure-fire winner for me. Rating:****

A bit of light reading and some heavy weeding…

Well the blog has taken a back seat for a while as the summer ramped up… I’ve been juggling some major garden renovation with allotmenting, which has kept me outside in the sun far too much! I can advise that trying to grow a lawn from seed in the hottest few weeks of the year is mission impossible, and trying to not get evicted from the allotments is a recipe for a bad back, and very nearly a trip to casualty, as the garden fork went straight through my shoe and miraculously, in between my toes…. But I have fitted in some reading and I have a bumper crop of strawberries, so a successful summer!

My Allotment

I tried a bit of sci-fi first, The Long Earth by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter (Corgi, ISBN 9780552164085). It’s an intriguing idea – an infinity of parallel worlds which you can step into with the aid of a makeshift machine, and the consequences of a mass exodus from Earth, with a billion different human societies being set up. Add to this a sentient computer in the form of a vending machine, and strange creatures that appear to be migrating across the worlds, running away from something, and you have a humorous and imaginative tale. I did however start to lose interest towards the end which was a shame, and I’m not sure I’ll be picking up the sequel.

The Age of Miracles by Karen Thompson Walker (Simon & Schuster, ISBN 9780857207258) grabbed my attention much more. It’s the story of a very slow apocalypse told by 11-year-old Julia. The rotation of the Earth has started to slow and the days are getting longer. At first it’s exciting, but eventually society begins to fracture, and people become either real-timers – attempting to live according to their Circadian rhythms – or follow the Government directive of adhering to the 24-hour clock. The disintegration of life as we know it is writ on a very small and human level; there’s no horror here, just the pain of ordinary existence slowly being taken out of the individual’s control. Very powerful and thought-provoking, and a different kind of apocalypse indeed.

I finally decided to tackle Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel (Fourth Estate, ISBN 9780007230204) on my Kindle whilst on holiday. In case you’ve been on Mars, it’s a tale of the Tudors told from the perspective of Thomas Cromwell. It was very interesting but with a large cast of characters I never really engaged with it to the depth I’d hoped to. I think it may be a book I’ll revisit one day so I’ll say no more at this point.

I was quite impressed with Hollow Earth by John Barrowman and Carole E. Barrowman (Buster Books, ISBN 9781907151644); this children’s fantasy had some good scary moments and John has clearly been paying attention to what children love in Doctor Who. Two siblings have the ability to manipulate reality through drawing – but those who wish to bind these powers are after them, and the monsters of Hollow Earth are straining to be unleashed… Good fun.

One story that really gripped me was The Magpies by Mark Edwards (CreateSpace, ISBN 9781483911892). This self-published story is really powerful, telling a tale of neighbourly aggravation that goes way beyond the usual arguments about boundaries and barbecues. Jamie and Kirsty move into their dream flat and are welcomed by downstairs neighbours Chris and Lucy. But soon the neighbours are complaining about noise, sending threatening letters and taping the couple in their bedroom. As the campaign gets more and more extreme, Jamie and Kirsty’s relationship comes under increasing pressure, leading to a shocking finale. Very tense and for anyone who’s experienced problem neighbours, frighteningly plausible… Good stuff.

Okay, back to the allotment for now!

 

The Falcons of Fire and Ice by Karen Maitland

Adventure, Fantasy, Historical, Horror

Reproduced with kind permission of Penguin Books

Karen Maitland is fast becoming one of my must-read writers. Her historical potboilers are full of addictively gruesome details, supernatural mayhem, characters so vibrant they slap you in the face, and a sense of tension that is sometimes unbearable. In all, rollicking good reads! The Falcons of Fire and Ice is superb, and like her previous stories, it will remain in my collection to be re-read and savoured all over again.

This is the story of innocent Isabela, whose father is the Court Falconer in Portugal, in the year 1564. But when the falcons are found murdered, the Inquisition take him in for “questioning” – and their methods of interrogation are not for the faint-hearted. The boy King however has no stomach for the Inquisition’s excesses and in what seems like a futile attempt to save his Falconer’s life, suggests that a full pardon would be offered if the white falcons are replaced within a year. An offer that Isabela immediately grasps, despite knowing that the falcons are extremely rare and their only natural habitat is Iceland – a wild and unknown country of ice and terror. The brave girl sets off on her quest, unwittingly followed by agents of the Inquisition who are determined to stop her, and mysteriously aided by the Icelandic mystic Eydris, who herself is being tormented by a draugr (a revenant spirit).

This is a fast-paced story with a large cast of characters (some of whom have aliases!) so take your time and read carefully. It really does have two very different settings with the scorching torture of the Inquisition’s flames and the bitter harshness of the Icelandic wild, and this gives the story contrast from Maitland’s other works which are firmly set in Britain, allowing her to explore different mythologies and to experiment with the supernatural element more fully. The character of Eydris in particular is fascinating and her journey has several powerful reveals. As always Maitland revels in the graphic descriptions of gore and nastiness but this is skilfully handled, providing real meat on the bones of the tale rather than being off-putting. She succeeds in bringing the period to life in a visceral and sensuous way, and that’s what makes her stand out as an historical novelist – through her descriptions you can taste, touch and smell the world she’s invoking, empathise with the desperation and terror of her characters, and fully inhabit the fantasy she’s creating. If you read predominantly fantasy or horror you would be as drawn to her stories as fans of the historical novel, yet her research into the history is thorough, and the supernatural elements woven in perfectly naturally to the social reality of the time. I loved it. Rating: ****

Tales from Lovecraft Middle School by Charles Gilman

This is a new series for young readers of 8+, which is great fun. Any child who has fantasised about their school having a secret magical gateway from which monsters may emerge to cause chaos (I know I was one of those daydreamers!) will really enjoy these tales based around Lovecraft Middle School. There are definite echoes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and lots of humour to balance the action and the really rather scary moments. When shy Robert Arthur starts at his new school, he’s only worried about the school bully, but soon discovers that the school harbours scarier creatures than his tormentor Glenn Torkells. It’s really a gateway to the alternaverse, where an evil genius plots to take over the world, starting with his classmates. Can he outwit the hamster-gobbling Professor Goyle, and beat the snake-like Sarah Price to become school president? The fate of the school hangs in Robert’s hands, aided by his unlikely ally Glenn, ghost Karina, a two-headed rat and the mysterious school librarian… Lots of nods to the adult horror genre which made me smile, but the fast-paced action will keep kids enthralled, and Robert is a good hero. The hologrammatic covers are great too, and will catch kids’ attention. The third in the series, Teacher’s Pest, is out in May. Rating: ***

I’d read several reviews of this book and was intrigued by the title and the premise, so sat down to read it eagerly. And it didn’t disappoint, I’m glad to say!

It’s a great idea to weave a story around a collection of bizarre images, which according to the postscript are genuine vintage photographs. It’s not simply that they are a little creepy and strange, but they add a tenderness that really involves you in the fantastical world they depict; the sad little boy in the rabbit costume, and the photograph revealing the reason why Abe never returned home, really ground you in the emotional heart of the tale. Jacob has never really believed that his grandfather’s photographs were real, but when his grandfather is murdered by a monster, the tales he told Jacob as a child suddenly take on a chilling reality. Determined to uncover what killed his grandfather and why, Jacob travels to Wales, where he encounters the living, breathing peculiar children from the photographs and realises that his destiny is inextricably linked with their survival.

This is a convincing and charming fantasy with the possibility of a sequel (yay!) – it’s a book to lose yourself in and just savour. I loved it. Rating: ****

Faery, Fantasy, Paranormal Romance

Reproduced with kind permission of Bloomsbury

Reproduced with kind permission of Bloomsbury

Briony is a witch. A despicable witch who can summon powerful winds to hurt her beautiful sister, invoke devastating floods to cripple her devoted stepmother, and who is sure to be hanged if the villagers ever find out about her wickedness. In the murk of Swampsea her self-loathing festers, as does the swamp cough that is claiming the lives of so many children. But the arrival of clever Eldric starts a chain reaction that strips away the layers of deceit that surround Briony and her past, exposing the myths people spin around themselves in a place where myths are real and often deadly.

This is an intriguing romance that plays with fairytale conventions to create and original and convincing story, one of pure fantasy yet with a psychological resonance that lifts it above others in this genre. Billingsley’s writing is exquisite and she creates a very interesting and sympathetic heroine, and a sure sense of a creepy yet alluring place, beset by all manner of fairytale creatures. In a fiction market itself swamped by paranormal romance, this book stood out for me as something different, and is a delicious read for 12+.
