This book! I was reading The Best of Worlds By Kenneth Oppel WAY past bedtime last night, I only stopped reading it because the battery on my Kindle ran out. It’s a confidently crafted, perfectly plotted YA sci-fi thriller & it’s blowing my mind 🤯. Thanks to Guppy Books & #Netgalley for the proof.

Just started reading The Last Dragon on Mars by Scott Reintgen and I’m instantly hooked. It’s fast paced, has rich world building, interesting characters that I already care about after only four short chapters and above all it’s very cool!🐉@rocktheboatnews.bsky.social

If you’d like to listen to a meandering podcast about children’s literature, it is here. Frank Cottrell-Boyce and I chat about 2024 in kids books and generally waffle on: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/b...

I'm keen to read more in-depth articles on children's books and I'd love your recommendations - there are sites like Leaf and School Library Journal that I've found great stuff on but there's so much. I'm particularly interested in fantasy, comedy, middle grade/8-12 books (any combo) #KidLitUK

Made my first gluten free baguettes today and they were SO much better than anything you can buy. Dense, chewy texture and proper crust. Worth getting the special tray for. Thank you @beckyexcell.bsky.social 💫🥖💕

Going to pin this – please share! My Art Avenger books are perfect for kids aged 7-11 especially if they’re the kind of child who’d appreciate the highbrow/lowbrow blend of art fact-files and bum-faced snails. You can get a copy here: linktr.ee/Ofalafel

Late to the party, but Agatha All Along is all kinds of awesome. Think I might have to watch it again straight away. That song is now playing on a permenant loop in my head though. Curses! 💜 🎶

What a stunner of a book! The Faerie Isle by Síne Quinn & Dermot Flynn published by Walker Books. It manages to be eerie & disturbing as well as beautiful- exactly what faerie tales should be! #kidlit #kidlituk

Word of the day is ‘librocubicularist’: one who loves nothing better than reading in bed. (Not easy to say, but I’m glad to know it exists).

The kids & I built dens in the Library for the Read-In at the end of our Book Week. Wish they were a permanent fixture because the way everyone instantly curled up in them to read was magical 💕 #kidlituk #schoollibrary #schoollibraries
