Staff Reviews
Book Review: Ferris
A glorious collection of interesting family dynamics interwoven into the wonderful daily life of Ferris.
Staff Review: The Screaming Staircase
The London of the Lockwood & Co series has been hit by a plague of ghosts. Only special children can see them…
Book Review: The Wager
This is a cracking good read – even for those with no previous interest in maritime history. Also, how did they keep their record books dry?!
Book Review: There’s A Cure For This
Billed as a memoir but reads easily as a collection of essays on lived experiences, I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
