Children's Insight event I learnt that a teacher reading to their class for 20 mins a day can change students’ lives… plus, as this picture proves, it’s so much fun! ❤️🙌

It's been a challenging decision for the judges this year with so many fantastic books! Judge and co-founder Viveka Alvestrand discusses 'The Hare-Shaped Hole' (@WriterPoetJohn and Thomas Docherty 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺/Quarto Kids)
and its position as an  'important' book on grief and loss.

Have you read this brand new beauty from Michelle Harrison? It's a quirky, creepy, time-twisty murder mystery. I loved it! 🧡

Fabulous, fantastic and funny, I really enjoyed Alex Vs Axel: The Impossible Quests by the brilliant Sam Copeland. With shades of Terry Pratchett, The Princess Bride and Tolkien (if he'd carried on writing comedy after Chapter One of The Hobbit!) readers are going to LOVE this!

Just read Where the Heart Should Be by the amazing ⁦Sarah Crossan⁩. What an incredible book. The story of Nell, her family and her forbidden love affair during the Irish Famine is so immersive and brilliantly told, and all in 28,000 words. It will stay with me forever.

I am so very happy to announce that WHERE THE HEART SHOULD BE is publishing in the USA 🇺🇸 in January with Greenwillow Books Harper Collins and my BRILLIANT editor from the early days Martha Mihalick is in charge! Cover reveal soon— it’s a jewel.

My mum’s poem about her dog, and how we all feel about our dogs.

Pine nuts, chickpeas and lime, puréed. Aubergine and okra, stewed with tomato. Garlic cloves cooked in brown butter. Pistachio and dill. Vegetables for lunch.

THERE’S A BEACH IN MY PANTS set to become a family classic. 🏖️

Granola is fats, grains and sugars, and so too is shortbread. Speculoos spiced shortbread granola with wild blueberries and yoghurt. I made a shortbread mix, added jumbo oats and hazelnuts, cinnamon, mace and clove, and cooked until golden.

ALEX VS AXEL is out this week! Another funny masterpiece from Sam Copeland. 💥
