Ok, my recommendation would have to be Balthazar Jones and the Tower of London Zoo by Julia Stuart which was published in the US as The Tower, the Zoo, and the Tortoise. One of my favourite reads last year, you can see my review here ....... http://pettywitter.blogspot.com/2010/11/balthazar-jones-and-tower-of-london-zoo.html

Congrats to you!!! Here's my recommendation (which I don't think is on your list, but if it is, you know I'm full of other recommendations): A Moveable Feast by Hemingway. It's one of the only Hemingway books I love and it paints such an amazing picture of Paris in the '20s.
