Cover Story
The illustration on our cover is from the newly-published Robert Cormier novel Beyond the Chocolate War, (Gollancz, 0 575 03711 3, £7.95). The illustration is by Caroline Binch and shows in the centre Archie Costello, Assigner of the Vigils, holding the white ball which readers of The Chocolate War will remember as all important in deciding who undertakes the assignments that are required from certain unfortunate individuals. In this sequel new characters join him and the old return to play out Archie's last term at Trinity High. We are grateful to Gollancz for help in using this illustration.

Illustrated by Philippe Matter
Juju, the parrot, leaves home in the jungle in search of a pirate and after a series of adventures he finally finds - or rather, is found by - one of sorts anyway. A not particularly exciting story but enlivened by richly coloured scenes and some distinctive silhouette pictures. These and the patterned text could make this a book worth trying with learner readers but it is unlikely to grip an audience in a story-time session.
