Librarians face many conundrums in any working day; weening Mr Bloggs off War History Novels, Mrs Bloggs away from Murder Mystery Novels and convincing their adorable children not to take all of the books off the shelve to build a Book House in the Corner, not to mention finding leaves for the Reading Tree. My latest dilemma? How to assist a woman on crutches with her Library Books as there were no bags to be found. Which is why I’m very grateful to Mrs Stacia Hooley for arriving in this afternoon with a bag of guess what? Bags! Thanks. Reduce, reuse, recycle.

LINCOLN AND HIS BOYS by ROSEMARY WELLS
In the bicentennial year of Abraham Lincoln’s birth, this is a family portrait from the perspective of two of his sons covering a period before and after his election as US president. It is well researched and captures the social history of the period and life in the White House with child’s eye detail. PJ Lynch’s meticulous, realistic images reveal the close, warm relationship Lincoln had with his boys. Any child with an interest in history, America, and particularly its presidents will be fascinated.

THE RAVEN MYSTERIES, BOOK ONE: FLOOD AND FANG by MARCUS SEDGWICK
Part Addams Family, part Sherlock Holmes, this new series of hair-raisingmystery stories will have young sleuths hooked from the outset. In this first instalment, Sedgwick introduces us to the ghoulish Otherhand family and the eccentric goings-on of their castle home. Narrated in the first person by Edgar –pet Raven detective extraordinaire – the tone is appealingly light and accessible, Williamson’s creepy illustrations adding just the right measure of expression and humour. Highly recommended.
