So fleech our students are reading Fearless Frederic for the Q’ld State Finals of the Readers Cup. Yep! They loved it!

Received this from Garth Nix a few months ago. Thanks! Just finished “Have sword, will travel”. Do yourself a favour - read it!

I love this tweet Jackie French. It is so true that we stop reading to our children once we are confident they can read alone.

FINALLY a phonics voice of reason from Lisa Burman. If only we could replace this common sense w/the skill and drill nonsense that abounds ❤️ Sadly true: politically driven, narrowly defined, ‘one size fits all’ deficit image Please share #G2Great mailchi.mp/lisaburman/pho…

So, @PCarnavas this Teacher Librarian had the pleasure of listening to four Year 5 students discuss your book, The Elephant, for Readers Cup. Imagine being able to do that when you are a TL. Good on you!

Loved these pages Garth Nix. I will share with the students in our Writers’ Guild at school. Thank you!

So, @TimHarrisBooks, this is my Readers Cup team having fun with your book, ‘Mr Bambuckle’s remarkables’. Note the wafer biscuits on the plate. No wafers- no questions!

Just reading an advanced uncorrected proof of Nevertell by Katharine Orton. I am loving it so far and I will be recommending this for our school libraries when it is released in November.

The parliament in England has been prorogued. Its hands are tied; the representatives of the people are silenced. The power to prorogue Parliament belongs to the Monarch, on the advice of the Privy Council, but is rarely refused if requested by the prime minister.

Welcome to Hogwarts ⚡ (aka my classroom lol)

I’m being brave here. I started a twitter account yesterday to join the #AuthorsforFireys auction. With only 3 twitter followers – I'm not sure many will see this but hey, here goes.

So, @nat_amoore your book, 'Secrets of a schoolyard millionaire' has been chosen by the FNQ Readers Cup as one of the books for our students. The students (4 to a team) are meeting via Zoom. Thanks for a great read.

Here is the Writers’Guild from St Andrew’s Catholic College. They are proudly displaying the first issue of The Guild Gazette.

⁦Just finished When this bell rings Allison Rushby⁩ Whoo hoo! Great story.

Imagine having friends ‘To carry you. To protect you. To fight for you.’ Thank you Ross Montgomery for such delightful characters in your novel “The midnight guardians”.
