Maximum Ride - The Final Warning- James Patterson



Any of you who have read the first two in this series, will know all about Max and her flock of human/bird mutants. In the Final Warning they have the task of not just surviving against the Uber-director and his mutant army, but they must also help stop global warming. A greta read - action, science fiction and thriller rolled into one.

Then - Maurice Gleitzman


I am sure that anyone that has read Once by Gleitzman, could not help but be moved by the story of Felix and Zelda. Then follows on with their escape from the 'death train'. As the title suggests, each chapter begins with the statement 'then'. This simple narrative structure emphasises the idea of cause and event, action and consequence.

Again highly recommended, for a mature junior reader.

Gool - Maurice Gee



The sequel to Salt, Gool follows the story of Hari and Pearl 16 years after they have defeated Ottmar and destroyed the Company's control. However a new and fearsome creature threatens the land. Hari's children race against time to save not only his life but their whole existence.

Once again Gee's powerful story telling will suit the more mature junior reader.
