The second book in the Hungry City Chronicles is almost as good as the first novel. The setting is the cold, Arctic snow plains of the North, where the moving cities hunt each other. An explorer comes along, telling tales of a Green America. Could the stories about a green continent really be true?

Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve
A great steampunkish science fiction novel. This is the first book in a quadrilogy, and it is offers a very good start. I look forward to watching the upcoming movie based on this book. The movie is due for 2018.
Simple Genius by David Baldacci
An exciting novel that is a true page turner. The pace is fast and the plot is well written. Baldacci is a good option for anyone who likes Dan Brown.
The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown
The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery
A very moving and utterly wonderful book! Despite all tragedy, this book guides the reader towards the joys in life.
Jackdaw Summer by David Almond
A book that captures the overarching question ‘are some of us born evil’?
You Know Where to Find Me by Rachel Cohn
I Am the Messenger by Markus Zusak
Adrift in the Pacific, or Two Years Vacation by Jules Verne
An exciting robinsonade. I suspect that William Golding downloaded a lot of inspiration from this book to his classic novel, Lord of the Flies.
Harry and the dinosaurs at the museum by Ian Whybrow and Adrian Reynolds
The second book about Harry and his dinosaurs. This time Harry visits the museum, where they visit the ancestors.
