The theme for this month’s most wanted seems to be MAYHEM! There are lots of laughs, some kicking action scenes, and I notice that several of these characters are also on holiday.

Hope your holidays were fun, and you are enjoying being back at school with your friends.

It’s a nice mix to start the year, with no one series or author grabbing too much of the limelight. I’m happy to see two of my favourite series feature, with the adventures of the new kids at Camp Half Blood, and the prequel to the Bartimaeus Trilogy (I’ve read it and it’s pretty gruesome. ) You might have a bit of a wait for the number one most requested title this month, 79 of you have requested The Ugly Truth.

Here’s what’s hot at the beginning of term 4.

Artemis stays on top, the Wimpy Kid gains ground, our favourite skeleton detective, Skulduggery Pleasant, debuts, Percy Jackson is toppled from the list all together, and we have our first Non Fiction entry into the kids top 10. No Most wanted would be complete without a Geronimo Stilton, and his latest caper is just in time for Halloween.
