Reading this with my daughters has been really fun. What a great book. Awesome world building, great characters and a scary, but fun, story. #booksky #books #readingwithyourkids

📚What to read next? 📚 I'd love to read something recently released (children's book). I'm looking for a protagonist with a really strong voice. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! #UKKidLit

Just finished this one. Such a beautiful, heartbreaking novel. Hard to believe that such superb writing is a debut. It was on my TBR for far too long. #BookSky

My new book, Primary Reading Simplified, is released this Monday. Briefly, I'd like to explain why it exists, who I think will find it useful and where you can find it. >>

Spent the morning reading this wonderful UKS2/mid grade novel about standing up for what is right in the face of challenge and looking beyond differences. I loved it!
