‘Nothing More To Tell’ – Karen M. McManus
“Five years ago, Brynn quit Saint Ambrose School following the shocking murder of her favourite teacher. The case was never solved, but Brynn's sure that the three kids who found Mr. Larkin's body on school grounds know more than they're telling. Brynn's ex-best friend Tripp was one of them. Thanks to Tripp's testimony none of them were found guilty of the murder and now, five years later, the trio are at the top of the school's social ladder. When Brynn gets the internship of a lifetime working on a new true-crime show, she decides to investigate what really happened that day in the woods for herself. But the further she dives into the past, the more secrets she uncovers-about Saint Ambrose School, about Mr. Larkin, and even about her ex-best friend.”
The latest novel from the “queen of teen crime” Karen M. McManus, ‘Nothing more to tell’ is an exciting and thrilling school murder mystery, filled with unexpected twists and turns that will have readers guessing right to the very end. With wonderfully unique and engaging characters and a suspenseful and deep multi layered plot, there is a lot here that will appeal to a wide range of readers. A fantastic book and a must read!
‘War: Wizards And Robots’ – Will.i.am & Brian Johnson
“Wizards are real, robots from the future are here, and the world is in terrible danger. When a young man breaks into her home, Ada Luring's world changes forever. The man is a wizard, and his clan wants Ada and her mother dead. Ada's mother will invent the first ever robot, creating a race that will, in the future, become the wizard’s greatest foe. But a robot has travelled back in time to find Ada and protect her, as she may just be the key to preventing the earth's destruction in the future. Ada, Geller and the robots must now learn to work together to change the past and secure the future. But time is running out . . .”
Part Terminator, part Harry Potter, ‘Wizards & Robots’ is a fun futuristic action adventure novel about a teenager caught in the middle of an age long war between wizards and robots. With an easy to read story, filled with strange aliens, exciting time travel and lots of fast paced action, this is a fantastic story for younger readers, especially boys. An entertaining read that will be enjoyed by many, and a novel that readers will demand a sequel for.
