‘Written straight from the heart. Both tear-jerking and hilarious, it got my vote in spades’

When Sam, Jackie and Anna successfully campaign to save their children’s school lollipop lady, they are asked by a TV reporter if they fancy standing in the general election.

It is, of course, a crazy idea … but sometimes the craziest ideas turn out to be the best. And just think what they could do if they got to run the country …

* TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD by Harper Lee *

A wonderful novel beautifully told by young Scout. Lee says something big but manages to keep it warm and human.

* THE LOVELY BONES by Alice Sebold *

A story and characters which you remember long after you have finished reading. And one of the finest opening paragraphs ever.

* THE TIME TRAVELER’S WIFE by Audrey Niffenegger *

Fantastically original, Niffenegger encourages us to suspend our disbelief by drawing such realistic characters. One of the best love stories ever.

* ABOUT A BOY by Nick Hornby *

Hornby’s wit and social observations had me smiling from beginning to end. An absolute master at what he does.

* ROOM by Emma Donoghue *

Such a powerful book, and I loved that it was told from the child’s point of view. One of those stories that really stays with you.
