“I am Rebel” by Ross Montgomery is wonderful.
Rebel is the truly best of dogs and his journey to find Tom is who goes off to join the rebellion is a fantastic story. Full of adventure, memorable characters and with Jaxon truly beautiful friendship that makes both better. Fab!
Love the ‘A day in the life’ NF books by Mike Barfield? Then add this to your collection. The World’s First Roller Coaster and other Amazing Inventions is full of facts and delivered in just the same way. A blast of a book to explore - just look at it! Paul Watson Rob Crossley

Nush and the Stolen Emerald by Jasbinder Bilan - I'm meant to be writing... (front cover by David Dean) is a fantastically exciting adventure story set in Jaisalmer and London during the 19th century. Touches on many areas, family dynamics, equality, colonialism, with a very deft touch. A great book for Y5/6.
