Another totally fascinating non-fic book by Polly Faber, and Klaus Fahlen’s illustrations are just endlessly pore-over-able!!

Lovely to learn in the The Bookseller today that Hunt for the Golden Scarab is the 12th bestselling children’s book so far this year, after some heavy hitters! 😃🪲 And was published in February. Thankyou to all who have bought, read it, and recommended it. 🥰

Me and Wanda (well, a whole bunch of Wandas, as prizes!) are off to the mega-uplifting Pupil Library Assistant of the Year awards! 📕

Well, it's very lovely indeed to see that Wanda has wended her way to my home town! Hope your students enjoy it, HarlawAcademyLRC! 😍📕 #Aberdeenquine

"A stunning story about family, belonging and acceptance - this has a quirky cast of characters, lots of drama and a pace that matches the speed of Wanda’s ADHD brain." Thanks for the ace review, Children's Books Ireland! @publishinguclan childrensbooksireland.ie/our-recommenda…

Meta are pirating millions of authors’ books & academics’ research papers to train their AI, without permission or payment. Blatant theft that they’re claiming as ‘fair use’. Fair to who? It’s hard enough to make a living without a vast company helping themselves to your work.

Have you been too busy to keep up with what's been happening in the world of children's books? Here's my latest round up to help you. Awards, free events, book reviews and more. Happy reading! 📚 Reading Matters: The Latest Children's Book News alibrarylady.blog/2025/04/05/rea…

So glad you enjoyed #WorldOfWanda! 🥰📕

I read #Reek a little while ago & don’t think I shared that I LOVED it! It was a great little book by Alastair Chisholm which also coined perhaps my new favourite term - cli-fi! Not only a great story about climate change, but so much to draw out about rich/poor, ethics, climate, etc.

Excellent book post today! An advance copy of Catherine Johnson's next book; DANCE OF RESISTANCE: THE JOSEPHINE BAKER STORY. It's a retelling of the life of the iconic, Black entertainer of the 1920s, who was also a spy! Not out till Sept '25, but I'm diving in now...

Brilliant sci-fi selection! And thanks for including ‘How To Be A Human’, my story of an alien school boy crash-landing on Earth during an educational trip from his planet! Little Tiger Books

How absolutely amazing, Maz!! 👏🎉

Having a windswept couple of days away in blowy Brighton, and on a coffee hunt this morning, happened to stumble upon the legendary Book Nook The Book Nook just opening up. Lovely to have a chance to say hello! 😍📕😍📕😍📕😍

Yay! Very happy to see ‘The Boy Who Stole The Pharaoh’s Lunch’ on the excellent BooksForTopics Yr3 recommended list for ‘25/‘26! 📕🎉😍

Thanks to Poppy Barrington Stoke for this advance copy of My Perfect Cousin Karen McCombie #SofiaMillerSalazar. Haven't read any of Karen's books for a while - my girls loved them. Read it last night but this certainly has a twist! Ruby has a perfect cousin, or does she?

Thanks for the shout-out for #SofiaMillerSalazar; her illustrations for my book are just 🤩🤩🤩!

Hope you enjoy my quick-read novel, Jacqui! It might be short, but it’s packed with twists and turns… 🤩 #MyPerfectCousin #dyslexiafriendly Out today 🎉

What a brilliant initiative! 😍📕

It was SUCH a lot of fun to play around with the dual aspect tale of Ruby and Yasmin! Dreaming up a new two-sides-of-the-story novel now… 😍📕

Two sunshiney summer reads - by me! In WORLD OF WANDA, our #ADHD main character is on a wild adventure to discover a secret family, while short-read MY PERFECT COUSIN shows there’s always two sides to every story…
