is everything an MG own-voice adventure should be. Authentic, lyrical, Indian setting, family love - and family trouble, a girl setting out on a quest to find her missing brother. Deeply satisfying!🚀

Well, what better way to end Lis Jardine *The Detention Detectives*'s brilliant author tour of Hull's secondary schools, than posting her author Q and A film for the JRLT Hull Children's Book Award!

No better way to finish a rollercoaster of a half-term than with a brilliant author event. Students were so engaged. You know you’ve hooked them in when they spend their bus money on a book! Huge thanks Tia Fisher lnk.to/crossingthelinebook Forum Books + the bound + The Accidental Bookshop Hot Key Books ✨📚 #CrossingtheLine

Newcastle was a heap of fun! Engaged and lively students at Sacred Heart High, Library at St Cuthbert's High School, Cramlington LV + the friendliest, most wonderful of librarians and booksellers. Eileen Armstrong, Ms Black, Ms Bossons and Ms Keenan. I had such a ball - thank you all for hosting me.😍

Happy to have contributed this piece for The Bookseller LGBTQ+ edition where Kalynn Bayron 🍏 SLEEP LIKE DEATH and I chat about our experiences of censorship and book bans. Important we continue to talk about, and fight, this.

Gushing love for A. Connors latest book! ❤️Look at these grabs from the extract (link on post) .. what writing! I also happen to know this is own-voice, and will be so important create empathy towards epilepsy. #NationalEpilepsyWeek

A brilliant review of a book that’s going straight into my TBR, to fill me with joy, nostalgia and outrage.

Thanks to everyone who has taken time out of their day to tell me why I should never be allowed near children/ burn in hell/ be ashamed of myself for supporting this book.

Because of you, I'm going to buy a copy for a Primary School Library.

Nicholas Soames nailed you when he called you a “fraud” and described you as, “a living example of what a moderately cut double-breasted suit and a decent tie can do with an ultra-posh voice and a bit of ginger stuck up his arse.”

📢Some big fat gaps have opened up in my schedule, and I can offer some July days to London schools. If you'd like a KS3 workshop or assembly based around my Carnegie-shortlisted teen verse novel #CrossingtheLine , do get in touch! 🙏tiafisher.com

📣📣📣 I had the privilege of working on Villy’s verse during our MA. This is such a beautiful (and tough) own-voice novel. 👀 Agents, act quick! 😍
