'Young Sherlock Holmes:Death Cloud' by Andrew Lane

This is a young adult book but was quite good fun. I felt it got a bit silly near the end, like the author had a cool idea and was determined to incorporate it even if it wasn't quite in keeping with the rest of the tale. I will be passing this book on, not a keeper for me but maybe someone else will love it more.

'Champagne & Polar Bears'

I also read this during the big lag! Lovely whimsical book about an amazing experience. Well worth reading just for the mental images and inevitable questions about whether you yourself could spend all year isolated with one other person. (Who could you handle for that long?!)
