Skeleton Key (Alex Rider 3)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Authors and Illustrators
by: Anthony Horowitz

April 01, 2005
This is a great story, again Anthony Horowitz has us on the egde of our seats.
The story has a very similair theme to the Young James bond book Hurricane Gold. In Skeleton Key Alex Rider and Hurricane Gold Young James Bond, both teen hereos are on a hot tropical island owned by a villian, both villians want to adopt the young teen heros, despite the youngsters trying to spoil there plans. Both villians let the boys go. However both are fast paced and good reading. Its a shame they have followed the same pathm but if you are into Alex Rider, Jason Steed, Cherub and Young James Bond this is still a great book.

My two year old son has loved this for some time. It's a must have book. It's one to read time and time again. It also encourages role play as he loves to pretend that he is off to the moon just like baby bear.

Kensuke's Kingdom

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Authors and Illustrators
by: Michael Morpurgo

October 03, 2005
Kensuke's Kingdom What a fantastic book! Having started to read this with my 8 year old son, I then "sneakily" finished reading it one night after he had gone to bed! A super story for children and adults alike! We both found this a really gripping read, well written, beautifully descriptive and some real cliffhangers! The book was hidden away after bedtime story each night to prevent sneaky "reading ahead" under the bedcovers, but I was too weak to resist! This was the first Michael Morpurgo we have read but certainly won't be the last!

His Dark Materials Trilogy: BBC Radio 4 Full-cast Dramatisation (BBC Audiobooks)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Authors and Illustrators
by: Philip Pullman

January 06, 2003
This is a wonderful adaptation. The acting is really great - the voices are perfect in my mind, particularly Lyra, Will, Mrs. Coulter, the gyptians... Lord Asriel's seems perhaps strange to start with, but before long he seems great for the job. I agree with the above that the adaptations could have merited from being a bit longer - but having read the books and then listened to these it's not actually that noticable. The adapters have done well in condensing it to this space, spending most time on the most important bits - the end of the first book, for example. The adapters clearly have a great love of the book and Lavinia Murray has done a great job into adapting into two CDs worth, and the acting is really great. Highly recommended!
