May's Staff Picks:

+Anima Volume 1 JF M ASH
By Mukai, Natsumi
+Anima is unabashed shonen (Boys) manga, with adorable magical childrenwith golden hearts and mysterious secrets yet to be revealed. All the characters are likable, and the drawing clear and stylised. An enjoyable romp for comic/manga readers with a sweet tooth.

The clockwork forest JF M ASH
By MacLeod, Doug
Morton goes into the forest in search of four precious objects, and he discovers something far more valuable. The Clockwork Forest is a wonderfully dark and twisted fable. Bringing to life a
magical world where nothing is as it seems. Danger lies everywhere. But the biggest surprise is
what lies at the end of the quest?

Joel and Cat set the story straight YA E ASH
By Earls, Nick & Sparrow, Rebecca
A love-hate relationship, without the love part. This book has assault rifles, tea-drinking heroines, a Salvadorian salsa instructor and the most hilarious medical scene. You may have guessed, humour is a big part of the book, but there's drama, too, as both Cat and Joel experience family breakdown. The Joel/Cat tension is finely balanced and the end is sweet but not sickly. A very funny read!
