Cover Story
This issue’s cover illustration by Fangorn is taken from Brian Jacques’ Lord Brocktree (Hutchinson, 0 09 176877 2, £12.99), the thirteenth title in the internationally best-selling Redwall series. Salamandastron, the ancestral home of the Badger Lords, is under threat from Ungatt Trunn, an enemy whose power would seem to be absolute and whose evil knows no bounds. The only hope for survival is the badger Lord Brocktree who is drawn to the fortress by an undeniable sense of destiny. Brian Jacques' masterful storytelling as always spins a web of high adventure that will enthral the reader from the first page to the last. Thanks to Hutchinson Children’s Books for their help in producing this September cover.

It's OK, I'm wearing really big knickers! (Further confessions of Georgia Nicolson)
This sequel to the Smarties prize-winner Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging, has been predictably compared to Bridget Jones - certainly its idiosyncratic use of language, deadpan humour and preoccupation with the opposite sex merit such a comparison, but there is none of the world-weariness of Jones. Instead, Georgia Nicolson endears herself to teenage readers with a sense of the burlesque - personified in Angus the cat - and an inability to feel any sort of self-worth. This is a very funny book within which teenage girls will find much which is reassuring and familiar. I anticipate an entirely new set of catchphrases finding their way into teenage vocabularies!
