📚A group of authors, educators, and publishers has called on Prime Minister Keir Starmer to prioritise children's reading for pleasure. With a decline in reading habits post-pandemic, they urge for a national reading strategy to support literacy. 👉 buff.ly/4eH1JUC

Fast-paced, futuristic, science-fiction fun! Love the dystopian Edinburgh setting & the timely, eco-themed premise of life under an all-encompassing, unforgiving toxic cloud. Characters are brilliant. Action scenes are amazing. Kids will love this. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Watched Hot Fuzz last night for the first times in YEARS. Forgot how BRILLIANT it is! Absolutely hilarious. Crazy this came out 17 years ago…

Two phenomenal books from Irish authors, both dealing with loss and family, both with fabulous settings, terrifying, sinister villains, engaging protagonists and exciting, magical adventures. Looking forward to reading more from Catherine Doyle and Pádraig Kenny.
