   • Boy In The Tower comes highly recommended by me. I think it might even be my favourite story of 2014 so far. You might also enjoy The Illustrated Mum by Jacqueline Wilson or Catcall by Linda Newbery, both of which feature children under great pressure.

   Is boy in the tower a fable?

   • While the plot is part sci-fi, part fantasy and part dystopian, this little book is really a fable. It has a dreamlike quality and it's about love, friendship, loyalty and sacrifice. I loved it and I think you - whoever you are, whether you're aged eight or eighty - will love it, too. Boy In The Tower comes highly recommended by me.
