Books for children
The very hungry caterpillar
Eric Carle's story about a greedy caterpillar is perfect for pre-school children, teaching children about the days of the week and that caterpillars don't remain caterpillars forever! The print version is beautifully illustrated with dazzling colours.
George's marvellous medicine
Roald Dahl's tale, ideal for six to nine year olds tells of George - a young boy staying with his hideous grandmother - and his attempts to get his revenge on her.
Goodnight Mister Tom
Michelle Magorian's World War Two tale is great for children aged 10 - 13. Gruff, surly Mr Thomas Oakley reluctantly takes on an evacuee from London during the Blitz. Young Willie Beech, scrawny, shy and used to city life forms an unlikely bond with Mister Tom - but everything changes when he is summoned back to London to visit his mother. A gripping, exciting and heartwarming read.

The girl with the dragon tattoo
Stieg Larsson's novel is the first in a crime trilogy. Henrik Vanger, an elderly industrialist, hires troubled journalist Mikael Blomkvist to investigate the disappearance of his great-niece, Harriet, who went missing 40 years ago. Blomkvist teams up with computer hacker Lisbeth Salamander - the girl with the tattoo - to solve the case. Dark, mysterious and highly acclaimed, this book has been recently made into a film.
One day
David Nicholl's new bestselling novel charts the lives of Emma and Dexter on 15 July each year as they go through their lives. The pair meet at university, then go their separate ways, living very different lives, only connected by their friendship and occasional reunions. Hilariously funny, romantic, yet also very moving, One Day comes highly recommended.
