 * I am expanding this afd, to include to a broader number of articles: making it a merge of all of his novels into Chris Westwood (author), including:
 * Becoming Julia
 * Brother of Mine
 * Calling All Monsters
 * A Light in the Black
 * Profile (novel)
 * Virtual World (novel)
 * At most each of the articles could have 2-3 sources, and could be summarized in 1-2 paragraphs without significant loss of value, and many of them are not independently notable on there own (and the ones that might be could be adequetly covered in the author article).

 * Comment. There are a few reviews listed at his official website.  Some of them look like blogs to me, but I guess I wouldn't know.  I don't know children's literature, and I especially don't know British children's literature.  There are a few quotations from The Guardian and The Times, however.

 * Increasingly in both contemporary fiction, and children's fiction, the best reviews are coming out of group-blog-like-websites which have an editorial group (so sit on the margins of our reliable source requirements), and have some standards on what they create. That being said, most of these particular books don't have more than a couple reviews, and one or two of each of them being the "pay-for-review" types (publisher's weekly, kirkus, etc). I don't think any but a few these articles will ever stand on their own, and could be dealt with better in one central article (you could talk about themes across the board, for example), Sadads (talk) 15:03, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
 * comment have added plot summaries to the author article Chris Westwood (author) from the book articles. Coolabahapple (talk) 05:37, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
