Children's book reviews: Showing what determination mixed with imagination can achieve

12 books for April with Ruth Concannon of Children's Books Ireland

There is a great selection of books out now for the younger reader especially some quality work from Irish authors.

Determination and a little touch of imagination link the stories featured in this month’s round-up. 

Whether you are a chicken aiming to be a world-record breaker, squaring up to an ancient mind-controlling zombie, or simply trying to get through secondary school and make a few friends, there’s lots you can achieve when you think creatively.
