By Jack Wiens

Category:-Children's Fiction

Genre:-Juvenile Fiction/Picture book/Values & Virtues

Age:-3-7 years

Publisher:-Torchflame Books

Blurb:-The boy has a lot of questions-hard ones about love, honesty, grief and loss, prejudice, forgiveness, why we are here, and more.

 Bear's wise answers are always offered with compassion and enthusiasm. The friendship between these two is deep, tender, and sometimes fun. Bear's clear, common-sense philosophy of life is a welcome contrast to the complex world our children face today.

 On the beautifully illustrated pages, you will also meet Jay, Raccoon, Badger, Elder Moose, and others who add to the fun and adventure.

 Walk with Boy and Bear for a while in the woods and see what might learn about life, love and other stuff.

My Review:-This is a beautiful book filled with lovely artwork throughout. The boy asks bear questions that children ask or would like to ask but not sure how or if they should. This is a great book not only for children but also adults, just because we are adults doesn't mean we know everything or how to explain things, this book does it in a way that children can understand easier. The chapters are like having a conversation. You don't need to read it in one go, it's a book that can be talked about while reading each chapter.

The Good Snooze Guide of Great Britain

The Good Snooze Guide of Great Britain

By Robin Bennett

Genre:-Travel/Humour

Pages:-80

Blurb:-The British Isles through a pleasant haze.

 This small tome is a celebration of taking it easy, of loafing about but it's also a chance to write about some of the most pleasant spots in Britain. So it could also be considered a guide book-but for lazy people/

My Review:-I love everything about this book. The book can be picked up and put down whenever you have 5 minutes. Each place has fieldnotes and a page that tells you where you are, the time of day, and other bits. Wouldn't it be lovely to sit down and have a snooze whenever you feel like it. We have so many beautiful places and Robin shows this along with some humour. This would make a lovely gift for someone.

My Review:-The story is set on rural Scottish estate of Abbotsford, which Sir Walter Scott built. The story is about a coven of witches known as the Grizels. But within the coven there is Morag, who is kind, helpful, good and loved by the children. It's Morag's job to save the children from a plan that the Grizel have thought of, which would mean the children would going missing, never to be seen again. I don't want to say to much about the book, as it's a lovely story for children to read.

White Slave

White Slave

By Cathy Thompson

Genre:-Historical Fiction

Pages:-148

Publisher:-Abibiman Publishing

Blurb:-A former slave tells of an escapade involving him leading out a group of slaves from their former master, confronting the reality of racism in New Orleans in the 1800s, some years before the abolition.

 But did this in fact happen? Or could his retelling of the escape he led be what remains of the trauma of having been a slave himself?

 It is a story of revenge and cowardice, of hypocrisy and community, of deep-rooted violence and the effect that leaves on the mind, but also a story about how the imagination serves as a place to hide away from that violence.

My Review:-A story told by a former slave in New Orleans in the 1800s. The story tells how a man, a former slave of the Igbo tribe lead his wife and other slaves from the plantation they worked to a place that he had been told would be safer for them all. This was before the Abolition of Slavery Act. A story of violence, racism, revenge, starvation and how brutal things were back then. This is a short read but one that is hard and raw read, filled with emotions. A story that needs to be told and one that will stay with me.

The Michaelmas Daisy

By Paul Marriner

Genre:-Contemporary

Blurb:-The Michaelmas Daisy: a contemporary story of loneliness, loyalty, love, finding new friends, and hope.

 Beverley may be dead, but that doesn’t make it any easier to let go. She watches over her husband and daughter, sharing their pain, laughter, fears and dreams. As she watches, memories of her own life and love for her husband bring comfort and tears in equal measure.

 Her daughter, Philippa (58, divorced), looks after her ailing father. She does so willingly, but caring for him 24/7 takes great patience and compassion, and such devotion is isolating.

 Into their home comes Kaska (39). She provides respite care, brings kindness and energy, and helps Philippa realise it’s ok to still want some life of her own.

 As her father’s condition worsens, Philippa’s dedication is tested to the full and difficult choices are necessary.

 The Michaelmas Daisy: written in honour of those in need of care, and those who care for them.

Zero Ri$k

 Zero Ri$k

BySimon Hayes

Genre:-Thriller

Publisher:-The Rubriqs Press

Blurb:-23 December 2024… Rob Tanner should have been enjoying a rare day off from his life-consuming work as Chief Operating Officer at one of the country's largest banks. But a panicked phone call from a senior colleague forces him to put his Christmas plans on ice: more than a thousand of the bank's accounts have seen their balances increased by a factor of ten. Exactly ten. Through the inexplicably simple addition of an extra zero. And when the inflated balances prove to be neither early Christmas gifts, nor a botched computer system upgrade, but the most sophisticated cyber attack in history, Tanner finds himself in the eye of a "Black Swan' storm no one predicted, but anyone could have anticipated. Tanner enlists the help of brilliant American cyber security expert Ashley Markham, but the attacks only worsen: bank balances rise remorselessly and spread to all the nation's banks. The only clues to the hacker's intentions are cryptic daily emails, centred on Hieronymus Bosch's medieval representation of the seven deadly sins―and packed with colourful artistic and cultural references―taunting Tanner and the newly incumbent Prime Minister, James Allen. With financial markets―and the very world as he knows it―on the brink of collapse, Tanner races against the clock to decode not just the bizarre emails but their deeper meaning, and the implications for who he can really trust. All the while, his former boss “The Toad” is seeking revenge... and answers of his own. This enthralling, multi-layered debut follows the story of a disillusioned banker facing unthinkable financial Armageddon, where money has no value, stock and bond prices are meaningless, and the economy is destroyed. Can Tanner unravel the mystery of the hacker's obsession with Bosch, sin and retribution before modern society returns to the dark ages?

Book description:

• A multi-layered, race against time, cyber-crime thriller with a simple, original, "Black Swan' premise that will keep you awake at night turning the pages… and questioning your dependence on modern technology.

• An intriguing cyber-take on the locked room mystery; a whydunnit as well as a whodunnit, centred on the modern seven deadly sins.

• Full of cryptic artistic and cultural references (or are they clues?).

• A thought-provoking morality tale set in London at Christmas (via Europe, the US and Africa).

• With short, sharp chapters and crisp dialogue from an ensemble cast… where the criminal may be the one person telling the truth.

• And, at its heart, an everyday tale of love, loss and redemption.

My Review:-It's up to fifteen-year-old Efrain to look after his two younger brothers, since their mother was wrongly arrested and sent to prison for theft. But Efrain has to try and do what he can to help their mother. They live on the hillside in Monterrey, Mexico. Still going to school Efrain must work as much as he can for money, to buy food for them. Will Efrain turn to what is on offer from the local gangs or not? The storyline shows how things are different for people with money to those with nothing. Looking at how we live, to some we have a lot, but then we look at how different we are to people with a lot more than us. There is always people out there willing to help, but some expect something more in return.
