Five stars for Bella Bright and the Ghost Game Carolyn Ward👻BELLA BRIGHT👻 What a great debut horror novel with a brave and realistic heroine . She oozes courage, bravery and empathy. I encourage you to read this book for pure entertainment and more.

I really wish more people realised what a good investment a well-funded school library and, crucially, librarian is. We know our pupils, their reading habits & the books they want to read, and provide the space for them to do so. We are not a ‘nice to have’. We are a necessity.

The cover is finally here! Can’t wait for all to get to know Jack, Conan, Yash and Jerry when their madcap horror adventure arrives on March 3rd. Pre orders are available at the link below. Cover illustration by Tomislav Tikulin and cover design by Emma Byrne.

I don't believe there's such any thing as good reading and bad reading. It's all reading, and it's all good! If we want kids to be readers, we have to respect their rights as readers. Let reading be a pleasure, and they'll be readers forever! #literacy (Art: Quentin Blake)
