Encounters by Jason Wallace. Review.

The story is set in 1994 in Zimbabwe where a huge group of children tell the same story about a space ship arriving outside their school at break-time  . The story is told through the eyes of some of these children and the more you read the more you are convinced these children were telling the truth and it seemed to be a very bad omen. The characters are interesting and the plot was original , do we only believe what our eyes see,  or do we only believe what we know is possible . The story is thought provoking and a must read for all fans of UFO'S and unusual things happening to ordinary people .

Peculiar Ground by Lucy Hughes-Hallett. Review

 The story is centred around the grand Wychwood estate in the 1600's in England .

The house has a lot of staff and visitors and throughout the story you get glimpses of a lot of them . The story flicks back and forth in time and the different people who lived in the house and the magical and tragic events that happened there . This is a very mysterious house and every generation who lived there since its construction seemed to have had their own troubles and ghosts . An enchanting and haunting story for all fans of big old houses .

The Ice by Laline Paull . Review

The main plot of the story is set in the Arctic after the Arctic sea ice has melted. It has caused big business and not all of it is legal . Tom and Sean are two men in a crew who go to the Arctic to explore , friends and comrades , you need to really trust who you bring with you on this type of adventure . When tragedy occurs many questions are asked and they linger throughout the years leaving a sense of unease that will all have to finally be answered no matter how terrible the answers . The story was awesome , we see it primarily from Sean's perspective and it's not all black and white . The story does not give up its secrets straight away so there was a nice build up of tension leading to the end of the book . This is a book to read in one gulp! Awesome!

A Berlin Love Song by Sarah Matthias. Review

The story is told by Max and Lili at the beginning of the Second World War . Max is a German school boy and Lili is from a Romani Gypsy family , these two falling for each other would not be approved by anyone so they keep it secret . The story is beautiful and heartbreaking . Tragedy and hope linger throughout the story of this couples lives , each driven in opposite directions to an unknown future . This book had everything I wanted , very strong characters , hope , history , tragedy and love set in a troubled time .
