Five shelf spaces just aren't enough so I have decided to keep a couple of spaces to rotate all the books I have enjoyed reading on here so far.

I am currently working on a new project so do not have much time for reads.

Speedy McCready

Debbie Roxburgh

Light-hearted children's book looking at how families might have to create their own electricity when the National Grid starts to fail.


A light-hearted children's book which considers a world where families create their own electricity by using government- issued exercise bikes and treadmills. An hour on the bike buys you time to watch your favourite television programme or play on the XBox.

Ten-year-old Dillon invents a way or harnessing the energy created by his pet hamster, Speedy McCready, as he runs in his exercise wheel. His idea wins a national science competition making him a national hero. He even gets to meet the Queen and the Prime Minister.

HI Lucy I've read the first 4 chapters of this. Eye-catching title. Chapter 1 I like the suggested opening of the Gilbert children being photographed with a caption. 'It isn't my life, it's just the one I'm living' - love this line, simple but highly emotive. This opening chapter raises lo... view book

I like the idea of the Norman believing his neighbour is a witch. His over-active imaginat... view book
