And another wonderful book - the Ogre of Oglefort by Eva Ibbotson, published by Macmillan, not in paperback until next year and not yet in the National Library collection, but I'd say this is one to buy in hardback for all primary school libraries... It would be a fun book to read-aloud for mid / upper primary.
Here is a link to a well-written review that the book deserves, by Amanda Craig in The Times

and here is the opening chapter, from the Pan Macmillan website :

Eva Ibbotson is another clever, prolific, rewarding author like Geraldine McCaughrean, and I love too what she has said about libraries and how much they have meant to her - I did a post about it earlier this year... http://libraryzest.blogspot.com/search/label/Eva%20Ibbotson
