The Little Match Girl Strikes Back is a book about matches, magic and taking
control of your life! It is an excellent twist on ‘The Little Match Girl’ by Hans
Christian Andersen. Bridie, a little match girl, works hard to feed her family,
even if it means coming home battered and bruised. After an unfortunate
accident leaves her with only three remaining matches, Bridie strikes them
against the wall and after wishing into the flame, she can view anything she
desires. With the realisation she can change her own future, Bridie leads the
match workers on a strike to change history. Incredible real life photographs
of the match workers from the Victorian age can be found at the back of this
book, with a wonderful description by the author herself.
A twisted historical fiction tale highly
recommended for 8+ readers.

October is wild and she is free. She lives in the
woods with her dad where she is happy and they
are self sufficient. But on the day October turns
eleven, everything changes. The woman who calls herself October’s mother is
back and nothing will be the same again. After her dad has an accident, October
has to live with her mother, but not in the woods where she can be wild but in
the city where the noises are too loud and the children don’t look or behave
like her. October longs to be free again but her dad is in hospital and will be
for some time. Over time October finds herself gradually adjusting to her new
surroundings, but isn’t ever able to forget about the place that she calls home.
Could she find a way to accept both the wildness of the wood and the bustle of
the city, and finally allow her mother to become a part of her life again?
October, October is a beautifully written story to be enjoyed by both
children (9+) and adults alike.
