Michael Grant Book || Connie Willis || A young historian is sent back in time. However, instead of landing in 1320 AD she mistakenly ends up in 1348 in the middle of the Black Death. The narrative changes between 1348 and the Oxford in the year 2054/2055. I'm not normally a SciFi fan, but I did enjoy this book. || Jacqui Philippe ||

 * Shikasta Series || Doris Lessing || The Canopus in Argos series is a lyrical and allegorical history of the Earth and other planets. The series includes fictional reports, documents and narratives from Canopean agents- galactic civil servants. The fourth book - The Making of the Representative of Planet 8 is set on a planet that undergoes a radical change in climate - from balmy to polar in one generation is my favourite ever book of all time (so far). This series, like much of Lessing's opus casts an observant yet compassionate eye on the human condition || Helen Conidaris ||
 * Brain Jack || Brian Falkner || This is a rollicking adventure in cyberspace. Sam Wilson is a brilliant teenage computer hacker whose ability to hack into the computer systems of the White House lead him into a world of espionage and intrigue.When people operate computers using neuro-headsets, logging on to the computer can mean the difference between life and death. This is a great read for competent upper primary students and teenagers. Teachers have enjoyed it as well. || Debbie Haddrick ||
