The fabulous story of four friends thrown together during The Blitz, Under the London Sky by Anna Woltz had me hooked. Out 28/08 for 11+ readers from Rock the Boat 🌊 worldssmallestlibrary.wordpress.com/2025/06/09/und…


Thank you to author Nat Amoore for our brilliant and hugely entertaining Key Stage 2 assembly! We have signed copies of all 3 titles available - payment through Magic Booking. Nat Amoore 🤪 Rock the Boat 🌊 Shadi Doostdar Chestnuts Primary Chestnuts PSA



So cool to see Oneworld Publications author Tayari Jones in the cover!

Bletchley Riddle by Ruta Sepetys Updates & Steve Sheinkin was Highly Commended for 11-13s. The Historical Association's ‘Young Quills’ are for historical fiction that are a ‘good read’, engage the imagination of readers & have good historical content & factual info.
