Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever by Jeff Kinney
Cabin Fever is the latest offering by Jeff Kinney in his hugely popular Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.
Aimed at kids aged 8 and above, children the world over cannot get enough of Jeff Kinney's books.
In Cabin Fever, Greg Heffley, who has 'starred' in the whole Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, is in trouble.
He is the prime suspect after some school property got damaged, and it wasn't his fault, not really.
A blizzard strands his family inside their home, but he knows that when the thaw comes, he is going to have to face the music.
Meanwhile, he is trapped indoors with his family instead of being out playing, and it is the holidays.
Author Jeff Kinney is an online game designer and developer as well as being a New York Times best selling author.
Gangsta Granny by David Walliams
This is a must for children everywhere! In fact, never mind the kids - I want to read it!!
Gangsta Granny is the latest offering from best selling author David Walliams, who has been described as the new Roald Dahl.

Would Ben help her?
