Songlight by Moira Buffini is TheTimes children's book of the week. Lark has a secret-she's a telepath. But in the far, distant future, freedom of thought can you get killed. Superb dystopian thriller inspired by 1955 sci-fi, The Chrysalids. Faber Books thetimes.com/culture/books/…
My feature on children’s books about time travel in The Sunday Times. Times Books. Let me know your favourites. thetimes.com/culture/books/…
The Whale Rider by Witi Ihimaera is being added to the list of Puffin Classics. PuffinBooks Do you prefer the book or the Oscar-nominated film? It's a peculiar novel, but almost 40yrs on, still greater than the sum of its parts. My review here: thetimes.com/article/0c9709…
The Times children's book of the week: 'Oliver's Great Big Universe', a funny whizz through the many mind-bending facts about Planet Earth, by engineer-turned-cartoonist, Jorge Cham. Toilet humour has never worked so hard. PHD Comics Simon & Schuster Children's Books thetimes.com/culture/books/…
The basic, BASIC failings of Metropolitan Police in the preventable murders of these two women are almost beyond belief. Exactly how many red flags do the police need? Shocking report by Fiona Hamilton thetimes.com/uk/crime/artic…
