The Blurb On The Back:

In the Land of the Bumbley Boo
All the mice go Clang!
Hello Jolly Guardsman
But a Hippopotamus Could eat the Lotofus!
The wonderful Bumbley BOO!!!
And Edser, in bed sir, was dead sir
Hello Jolly Guardsman
And Bottles of Dandelion Stew
Hello Mr Python
The People are red white and blue
English Teeth, English Teeth!
I’m not frightened of Pussy Cats
English Teeth, English Teeth!
While an elephant raised his hat
You must never bath in an Irish Stew
Look at all those monkeys
On the Ning Nang Nong
But a Hippopotamus Could eat the Lotofus!
And Edser, in bed sir, was dead sir

( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

This is an illustrated collection of 34 silly verse for children aged 9+ by Spike Milligan, including On The Ning Nang Nong, A Thousand Hairy Savages and Today I Saw A Little Worm. Some of the illustrations in the version I read (published in 1968) don’t really pass for modern day attitudes but the verses themselves are brilliantly silly and ripe with Milligan’s distinctive voice and I think that kids will love the rhyming and the sheer fun of them.

The Blurb On The Back:

Daisy Christodoulou asks why ed tech - with all its potential - hasn’t yet had the transformative impact on education that it has long promised.

Rooted in research and written from an educationalist’s perspective, Teachers vs Tech? examines a broad range of topics, from the science of learning and assessment to the continued importance of teaching facts, exploring international examples from both big brand digital platforms and smaller start-ups.

Daisy Christodoulou draws on her experience working in classrooms and within the education community to outline a revolutionary vision for the future: one where technology is developed in conjunction with teacher expertise and is ultimately used to improve education outcomes for all.

( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

Daisy Christodoulou is former Head of Assessment at Ark Schools and Director of Education at No More Marking. This is a well researched, clearly written, fascinating and informative book that looks at the psychology of learning and teaching and how that ties in with the technology available to teachers (including initiatives from tech companies) to explain why tech hasn’t been as transformative for education as you’d expect it to be.

The Blurb On The Back:

Agatha Oddly: No case too odd …

Agatha Oddlow’s just stumbled across her next big case … a murder at the British Museum.

But as Agatha starts to dig beneath the surface she begins to suspect that a wider plot is afoot below London - a plot involving a disused Tube station, a huge fireworks display and five thousand tonnes of gold bullion.

Luckily, Agatha’s on the trail …

( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

The second in the AGATHA ODDLY TRILOGY by Lena Jones (a pseudonym for the Tibor Jones Studio) for children aged 9+ is a ho-hum, formulaic mystery adventure where the murder mystery hook fades away in favour of the overriding story arc of the Gatekeepers’ Guild. Pacing is okay but the characterisation very thin and I have to say that I never believed in Agatha as a character as her reactions never ring true and the Poirot element is very gimmicky.

Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.

The Blurb On The Back:

Not long ago, people thought that a ten-hour, six-day week was normal; now, it’s the eight-hour, five-day week. Will that soon be history too?

In this book, three leading experts argue why it should be. They map out a pragmatic pathway to a shorter working week that safeguards earnings for the lower-paid and keeps the economy flourishing. They argue that this radical vision will give workers time to be better parents and carers, allow men and women to share paid and unpaid work more equally, and help to save jobs - and create new ones - in the post-pandemic era. Not only that, but it will combat stress and illness caused by overwork and help to protect the environment.

This is essential reading for anyone who has ever felt they could live and work a lot better if all weekends are three days long.

( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

Anna Coote is Principal Fellow, Aidan Harper a Researcher and Alfie Stirling the Director of Research and the Chief Economist at the New Economics Foundation. Published during the COVID-19 pandemic, this is a timely and thought-provoking look at the arguments in favour of the introduction of a four-day work week (including some fascinating case studies where reduced work hours have been introduced) and sets out a roadmap for achieving the same.

THE CASE FOR A FOUR DAY WEEK was released in the United Kingdom on 27th November 2020. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.

The Blurb On The Back:

Do you know what a Onecan is? Have you met a Gofongo or the Bald Twit Lion? Can you guess what the Wiggle-Woggle said?

Another collection of goonish poems and zany drawings by Spike Milligan.

( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

This is a collection of illustrations, verse and one short story for children aged 8+ by Spike Milligan that drips with his trademark silliness and unique way of thinking about creatures and the world in general. The book ends with a short story about a foolish lion who goes bald, which I enjoyed but might be a little too unstructured for kids. Sadly this book is out of print but is worth checking out for Milligan completists.

The Blurb On The Back:

They chop down 100ft trees
To make chairs
I bought one
I am six-foot-one inch
When I sit in the chair
I’m four foot two.
Did they really chop down a 100ft tree
To make me look shorter?

Here’s a volume of Millipoems on pollution, population and conservation - serious subjects, overlaid by the inimitable Milligan humour.

( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

This is a collection of 41 poems/silly verse by Spike Milligan (4 of which are reprints) plus illustrations by Spike and 5 illustrations by his daughter, Laura Milligan. Although some of the verse sparks with Milligan’s zany wit, the majority are surprisingly sombre and political and tie in with Milligan’s anti-war, environmental interests. Sadly this book is out of print but is worth a read if you’re a Milligan completist.

The Blurb On The Back:

THE NIGHT BEGAN WITH BLACKMAIL:

Eight o’clock. Portgrave Pier. Can you keep a secret?

Ten teenagers lured to a derelict carnival. Each one with a dark past they are determined to keep hidden. As they start to die, is it an unknown killer they need to fear … or each other?

Mind games. Murder. Mayhem.

HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO SURVIVE THE NIGHT?

( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

Kathryn Foxfield’s debut YA novel is a horror/thriller mash-up that, for me, fails to deliver in either genre. The characters are paper thin, their secrets either too easy to guess or so inconsequential that it made me wonder why they were worried and the world building too ethereal. There’s an interesting central idea about the power of guilt to overwhelm you, but ultimately I just didn’t care enough about the teens or their plight.

The Blurb On The Back:

’Kill us? They’ve never needed to kill us,’ said Lamb. ‘I mean, look at us. What would be the point?’

A year after a calamitous blunder by the Russian secret service left a British citizen dead from Novichok poisoning, Diana Taverner is on the warpath. What seems a gutless response from the government has pushed the Service’s First Desk into mounting her own counter-offensive - but she’s had to make a deal with the devil fist. And given that the devil in question is arch-manipulator Peter Judd, she could be about to lose control of everything she’s fought for.

Meanwhile, still reeling from recent losses, the slow horses are worried they’ve been pushed further into the cold. Slough House has been wiped from Service records, and fatal accidents keep happening. No wonder Jackson Lamb’s crew are feeling paranoid. But they have they actually been targeted?

With a new populist movement taking a grip on London’s streets, and the old order ensuring that everything’s for sale to the highest bider, the world’s an uncomfortable place for those deemed surplus to requirements. The wise move would be to find a safe place and wait for the troubles to pass.

Bu the slow horses aren’t famed for making wise decisions.

( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

The 7th in Mick Herron’s SLOUGH HOUSE SERIES is another fast-paced, action packed spy thriller that adds biting satire to the temperature of the nation. There is a sense of pieces being moved ready for further developments, most notably in the change in dynamic between Judd and Lady Di, and it’s not clear what the return of Sid will mean long term but the devastating ending and the question it leaves means I am very keen to read the next book.

The Blurb On The Back:

( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

Tom Chatfield is an author, tech philosopher and educator interested in the teaching and practice of critical thinking skills. This is a breezy but useful introduction to concepts of critical thinking that’s aimed at university students but can be used by anyone looking to sharpen up their skills. It’s particularly good at explaining concepts such as reasoning, bias, hypothesis and assumptions in a way that’s not patronising and easy to remember.

The Blurb On The Back:

Alex Verus faces his dark side …

To protect his friends, the probability mage Alex Verus has had to change - and embrace his dark side. But the life mage Anne has changed too, and made a bond with a dangerous power. She’s going after everyone she’s got a grudge against - and it’s a long list.

The Council’s death squads are hunting Alex as well as Anne, and the only way for Alex to stop them is to end his long war with the Council by whatever means necessary. It will take everything Alex has to stay ahead and stop Anne from letting the world burn.

( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

The 11th and penultimate book in Benedict Jacka’s ALEX VERUS SERIES is an adrenalin-fuelled action-fest that concludes a few of the series’ plot strands (some in a very surprising manner) while setting up what promises to be a gripping conclusion. Particularly good is the way Alex embraces his Dark Mage origins here - it’s chilling, logical and really makes you wonder how this will end and I am on tenterhooks for the last book so I can find out.

( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

Clare Wilson is a lecturer in Applied Psychology at Portsmouth University. This is a broad guide to dealing with stress that’s aimed at university students and offers a combination of techniques and exercises plus a variety of further resources. It’s a useful starting point that I think can be used by people in the workplace as much as students but the illustrations are incredibly random and some of the graphics difficult to read.

Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.

The Blurb On The Back:

Danger awaits you in the mountain wilderness!

You and your pilot Jake have crashed in the Canadian Rockies. Jake is hurt, so it’s up to you to hike through the snow for help. You walk for hours until you come to a cabin. Inside you see a terrifying scene - a boy is tied to a chair, guarded by a sleeping man with a shotgun and a hunting knife!

What should you do? If you decide to play it safe and look for help, turn to page 83. If you try to sneak in and grab the gun and knife, turn to page 89. Be careful. Your next move could make you rich - or trap you forever in the dangerous mountains!

What happens next in the story? It all depends on the choices you make. How does the story end? Only you can find out! And the best part is that you can keep reading and rereading until you’ve had not one but many incredibly daring adventures!

( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

Edward Packard’s adventure game book (illustrated by Leslie Morrill and part of a series) for children aged 9+ is a fast-paced, genuinely exciting read with some useful survival tips. The reader chooses between different options to direct where the story goes - some to a sticky end, some to fame and riches - which holds the attention and keeps things interesting. The series was a big part of my childhood and still hold up all these years later.

The Blurb On The Back:

The lonely, rockbound island of Tsunojima is notorious as the site of a series of bloody unsolved murders. Some even say it’s haunted. One thing’s for sure: it’s the perfect destination for the K- University Mystery Club’s trip.

But when the first club member turns up dead, the remaining amateur sleuths realise they will need all of their murder-mystery expertise to get off the island alive.

As the party are picked off one by one, the survivors grow desperate and paranoid, turning on each other. Will anyone be able to untangle the murderer’s fiendish plan before it’s too late?

( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

Yukito Ayatsuji’s classic detective mystery (translated into English by Ho-Ling Wong) is a fast-paced tribute to Agatha Christie’s AND THEN HERE WERE NONE that’s filled with twists and turns. Although I enjoyed it, the large cast is disorientating at first and they’re all under-developed, the ending is a bit of a cheat because it relies on the reader not being told a key fact and I didn’t really understand the killer’s motivation.

The Blurb On The Back:

( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

Thomas Lancaster is a lecturer and academic specialising in computer science who researches academic integrity, plagiarism and contract cheating. This is a good summary of aimed at university students of what plagiarism is and how to avoid it, while also explaining what academic integrity is and why it’s important. However the stock art choices are weird and some of the text formatting a little hard to read.

The Blurb On The Back:

See, the Tree of Bones calls. Can you see?

More than a hundred years ago, a boy called Samkad thinks he knows everything about the world. He knows the mountains he lives in. He knows his people. He knows his blood enemy, the Mangili. And he wants to become a man, to be given his own shield, spear and axe to fight with. His best friend, Luke, wants all the same things - except she is a girl, and no girl has ever become a warrior

But everything changes when a new boy arrives in the village. He calls himself Samkad’s brother, yet he knows nothing of the ways of the mountain. And he brings news of a people called ‘Americans’, who are bringing war and destruction right to his home …

( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

Candy Gourlay’s standalone historical novel for children aged 9+ is a sensitive coming-of-age story that combines the evils of colonialism with a magical realism vibe. Gourlay does a great job of showing the clash between village life and the temptations that the Americans bring with them (and the terrible price that comes with it), depicting a period and conflict that was new to me and which I think children would be interested in.

The Blurb On The Back:

( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

Lucinda Becker is Professor of Pedagogy at Reading University who has produced this solid how-to-guide aimed at university students but with tips that anyone who has to give a presentation can use. The book combines practical tips on how to put a presentation together with techniques for overcoming nerves and is worth a look if you’ve been asked to do one for the first time.

The Blurb On The Back:

In a peaceful retirement village, four unlikely friends meet up once a week to investigate unsolved murders.

But when a brutal killing takes place on their very doorstep, the Thursday Murder Club find themselves in the middle of their first live case.

Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron might be pushing eighty but they still have a few tricks up their sleeves.

Can our unorthodox but brilliant gang catch the killer before it’s too late?

( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

Richard Osman’s debut crime novel (the first in a series) is a wry and twisting delight that combines MIDSOMER MURDERS with LAST OF THE SUMMER WINE. Some of the supporting characters are very broadly drawn but Joyce and Elizabeth have a depth that promises much for future books while the narrative voice carries you through a couple of minor fumbles in the weaving of the various plot strands, such that I very much look forward to the sequel.

The Blurb On The Back:

We stand at the beginning of a new era. What was once science fiction is fast becoming reality, as AI transforms war, crime, justice, jobs and society - and even, our very sense of what it means to be human. More than any other technology, AI has the potential to revolutionise our collective future.

How can we grow our prosperity through automation, without leaving people lacking income or purpose? How can we ensure that future AI systems do what we want without crashing, malfunctioning or getting hacked? Will AI help life flourish as never before, or will machines eventually outsmart us at all tasks, and even, perhaps, replace us altogether?

Life 3.0 gives us the tools to join what may be the most important conversation of our time, guiding us through the most controversial issues around AI today - from super intelligence to meaning, consciousness and the ultimate physical limits of life in the cosmos.

What sort of future do you want?

( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

Max Tegmark is professor of physics at MIT and president of the Future of Life Institute (which aims to keep AI beneficial). Published in 2017, this is a ‘big idea’ book that focuses on the positives of AI and where it can take us rather than on the risks and dangers (although it does consider them) but it was too broad in scope for me and I struggled with some of the physics (especially the cosmology) and how white and male the AI field is.

The Blurb On The Back:

Do you belong?

Norah Whittaker has grown up on a houseboat, spending lazy days swimming in the river and helping on her mum’s vintage market stall. But when her chaotic dad’s latest get-rich-quick plan ends up getting him arrested, everything changes.

Grandparents (incredibly rich ones) that Norah never knew existed enrol her at exclusive Chelsea High. There are polo lessons, ski trips and parties photographed by glossy magazines. Norah has never felt so out of place. And everyone else there thinks so, too.

That is, until she’s cast opposite Ezra Montgomery in the school play. Suddenly Norah discovers a reason to belong, after all …

( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

Jenny Oliver’s YA romance set in the privileged world of the rich and powerful uses its fish-out-of-water main character to make some smart observations about the downsides of wealth while also playing with some of the typical YA romance tropes. It’s not without some cliches though and as the first in a series there’s a lot of set up but if you’re looking for YA romance that’s not just privilege porn, then this is definitely worth a look.

CHELSEA HIGH was released in the United Kingdom on 6th August 2020. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
