These are the books that got me reading

Willard Price makes the pulse-rate soar

Price knew all the right buttons to press to excite a young reader - exotic locations, nasty villains, wild animals and lashings of peril

Professor Branestawm and Mrs Flittersnoop have been part of our family since before time began. It's thrilling to welcome back the lunatic genius of our beloved Norman Hunter

An action-packed and entertaining story, which young readers will find hard to put down.

The characters are lively and hilarious, and there are some brilliant action scenes and plenty of hair-raising cliffhangers. Circus Maximus is a joy to read, and is guaranteed to entertain.

The History Keepers is a great series for young and old alike; with agents, double-agents and spies, you never know where Jake will end up as he attempts to stop those who would change history!

. . . The plot is superfast, and is just the kind of story that could suck in even the most reluctant of readers.

Dibben expertly captures the sights, sounds and smells of Sweden in the 1790s and all the horror, drama and everyday life of Ancient Rome, even down to the snacks people ate in the street . . . The History Keepers has reminded me why I first started reading teenage fiction again – when it’s done well, as this is, you get proper heroes and villains . . . This series will be devoured by those who are looking for something new post Harry P.

An exciting plot, evil baddies and lovable heroes all add to this exciting page-turner as the History Keepers race around Rome.

Yet another brilliant book that you never want to put down.
