Sure Fire - Jack Higgins with Justin Richards

Dug out by... Dave

Tightly written with action coming thick and fast from the start. I liked the switching of viewpoint to show the various parties involved. It's a pacy read.

If you liked this, try...

Robert Muchamore's Cherub series, Anthony Horowitz's Alex Rider books or the Young Bond books by Charlie Higson

Dave ~ Actually, I didn't like it much in the end, despite noting down at one point that the tightly-written prose reminded me of Hemingway. It was just too much action for me. Relentless. But then, some readers will like that.

Twin Freaks - Paul Magrs

Dug out by... Dave

Eunice and Helen are not quite making it on all the TV talent shows they audition for. They're an odd couple of sisters. Helen's not got the looks and Eunice is lacking a voice, but together they've got what it takes. So their mum's new boyfriend comes up with a ridiculous plan - to pretend to be Siamese twins.

It can't possibly work, can it?

Satirising one of our modern scourges, there's some funny stuff in this book. Long-listed for the Doncaster Book Award 08, voted for by children.
