51. Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde 272pp. The mysterious association between respectable Dr Henry Jekyll and despicable lowlife Edward Hyde is a puzzle to Dr Jekyll’s friends, including his lawyer Gabriel Utterson. Where Jekyll is sociable and hardworking, Hyde is a violent criminal. It seems that they personify good and evil. Utterson is determined to discover the ties that bind the two men together.

“The book could go under mystery because of the plot, but I say it goes under science fiction. The theme of the book is man versus man because Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde are fighting each other for dear life! Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a must read that deserves 8/10 stars. I recommend this book for sci-fi, mystery and horror lovers and ages 10 and up” Kids Review Amazon.

Until she receives mysterious instructions on how to become a Contender in the Brimstone Bleed. It’s an epic race across jungle, desert, ocean, and mountain that could win her the prize she desperately desires: the Cure for her brother’s illness. But all the Contenders are after the Cure for people they love, and there’s no guarantee that Tella, or any of them, will survive the race. The jungle is terrifying, the clock is ticking, and Tella knows she can’t trust the allies she makes. And one big question emerges: Why have so many fallen sick in the first place?

“What I loved most about this book was the villain, Lord Goda. He means well! The book unleashes chapter after chapter of exciting adventures back and forth through time. There is loss and betrayal, fortitude and exhilaration, but best of all, great examples of friendship. It is only by believing in each other and combining their powers, that the kids succeed in their ultimate task” Amazon.
