🎪🎪🎪🎪🎪🎪🎪🎪🎪🎪The first review is IN!! Thank you so much, Kate! I’m over the moon! Faber Children's Faber Books

Do follow the brilliant, clever, kind & generally awesome Lisa Thompson. She’s one of the finest writers out there ! 👇👇👇

Also received through the post was this! A proof of The Houdini Inheritance by Emma Carroll 🇺🇦.

I’ve read this already & it’s divine. A truly captivating tale full of magic. I loved it.

Out in the wilds July 4 with Bloomsbury Kids & YA UK

Thank you everyone who’s pre-ordering Houdini! It makes a HUGE difference to a book’s projected profile (and its author’s nerves!) Signed copies available via @waterstones & your local indie bookshop. Rumours of SPREDGES abound… @faberchildrens Books Are My Bag Bookshop.org

After nine years at the helm of beautiful, unique Totleigh Barton, I am stepping aside to focus on Arvon's ever-growing artistic programme. So we are looking for a new Director to start at Totleigh this summer. Please share - this is truly a dream job!

The childhood pet I never got over: this is Kizzy, our mad, kind, naughty, slobbery Boxer dog who would’ve been 45 today.

Well…this is rather gorgeous. And highly anticipated!

Thank you Faber Children's for the advance read!
