Nature's Great Events
by Mitchell Beazley
"Great photographs, easy to read, good to sit with the children and browse."
Sangeeta Sedani, Fulmer
The White Tiger
by Aravind Adiga
"Probably the book of the decade. If there's one book you read this year - this should be it. Magnificent."
Nikhil Amin, Cambridge
50 Fairy Things to Make and Do
"Brilliant book for ideas for girls' parties - will keep girls ages five to eight occupied for ages."
Kira Moss, Oxford
Life isn’t all ha ha hee hee
by Meera Syal
"If you're 30-ish, you're going to love this book about three 'girls' going through life, each dealing differently with relationships, family background, societal pressures and culture. It made me laugh, cry and cringe - an accurate snapshot of how it was to grow up in a clash of cultures."
Brinda Kugapala, London
Brick Lane
by Monica Ali
"Loved this book. A really strong story of married life between the youthful bride Nazneen and not so youthful Chanu. I tend not to go for books which are over-hyped, but within the first few pages I was hooked."
Gera Patel, London
The Other Hand
by Chris Cleave
"A moving book with touches of humour - a good insight into Nigerian childhood."
Amar Basra, London
Mind Maps For Kids
by Tony Buzan
"If you've got a child who's struggling with story-writing, this book will provide an innovative solution. It's easy to understand, full of graphics and really engaged my eight-year-old. Absolutely fantastic."
Sandeep Singh, Leicester
Rama and The Demon King
by Jessica Souhami
"A stunning book. Beautifully illustrated and written. A great book for young ones wanting to explore the Ramanya."
Amit Patel, Buckinghamshire
Meena Pathak Celebrates Indian Cooking
"Lots of pages for the serious cook. I found it filled with old favourite dishes - which I had not tried for years."
Seema Athwal, Birmingham
The God of Small Things
by Arundhati Roy
"This is a heavy read, and a real tragic story but probably the most beautiful book ever written. I can see why it won the Booker Prize. I would recommend it to anyone."
Hardev Makh, London
15 Minute Gentle Yoga
"I've had a bad back for some time, so was quite sceptical. Tried it religiously every day for two weeks. Feel great and the exercises really improved my posture. Does what it says on the tin!"
Anand Marshall, London
Unaccustomed Earth
by Jhumpa Lahiri
"If you enjoyed The Namesake, you'll love this book. I'm not a fan of short stories, but this book has changed my view. Wonderfully written."
Mandeep Kaur, Leicester
