As someone who has enjoyed Sharna Jackson's previous novels, particularly High Rise Mystery, I was really looking forward to reading this, and it completely lived up to my expectations! Josephine has high aspirations for herself, and when she forms The Copseys (a small, select group) with Wesley and Margot, she is determined to change the world for the better, just like her heroes have done before her. One night, Jo spots some lights in an old abandoned warehouse and is determined to find out where they are coming from. What they discover sets the Copseys on an exciting adventure, which is at once gripping, tear-inducing and wonderfully heart-warming. A great read!

The Good Turn is yet another realistic and relevant book from Sharna Jackson, offering an opportunity for pupils to see themselves reflected in the literature they read. The storyline is engaging, unpredictable and intriguing, while the characters are well-developed and realistically portrayed. The Good Turn offers a vivid depiction of lives and realities often untouched in other children’s literature, whilst still being a very readable - and enjoyable - piece of children’s fiction.
