Love the mystery of a lighthouse and the characters at the top, with the thrashing waves beneath. Beautifully done.

Loved The Chestnut Roaster. I will see what my year 4 class like the best. It was the complete opposite of last round's results.

Hard choice this time between The Chestnut Roaster and The Elemental Detectives but in the end, it was the cover of The Elemental Detectives that drew me to the book int he first place, so I had to pick that one
