Nonfiction titles about space are always interesting and I’m looking forward to reading Secrets of the Museum: Solar System by Joalda Morancy & Kelsey Oseid.

Out 24/09 for 7+ readers, enormous thanks go to Hiromi @bonnierbooks.bsky.social

The book held in front of a bush in my garden. The cover has a cutout keyhole in the centre below the title, inside which are the words ‘Enter here’. The bottom of the artwork is the curved surface of the sun above which planets float in space.

Oh dear. Just noticed I forgot to post the picture & alt text.
Clearly I have much to learn when it comes to social media, promotion, & PAYING ATTENTION.
You can pre-order through the links in my bio. Go on! You might like it! Look at that gorgeous cover!
#ukkidlit #kidlituk #middlegrade #fantasy

The graphic shows a copy of my book, A Scrap of Moss and Magick, with its lovely cover art of a girl's head, green hair flowing into woods and plants, a magpie and a smoky cat, in the distance, a country house. What the book's about: Thirza is a servant girl with magickal talents, which she uses to get her chores done and also to have fun. She lives in a big country house owned by a retired magician, Lord Wulfric. The arrival of Lord Wulfric's niece Cecily (and her pet magpie!) changes everything. Soon dangerous secrets start coming to light, and Thirza will have to decide between the life of her best friend and her own.

Every Wednesday (that I remember!), I will post a children’s book I’ve enjoyed.

If you’ve read it too, or you want to share another book, join in!

Ottoline & the Yellow Cat, by Chris Riddell.

Alt text for why I like it.

#ukkidlit #kidlituk #middlegrade

Photograph of my hand holding a paperback copy of Ottoline and the Yellow Cat by Chris Riddell in front of a colourful cushion. The cover is red and shows a blonde, white girl in a dressing gown holding a leather-bound book stamped with an O and a pencil. A yellow cat, wearing a mask and black polo neck, peeps out from behind her. Mr Munroe, a creature who is all hair, stands beside her. Why I love this book: first, Ottoline, who carries a notebook everywhere, loves exploring and investigating, has collections and is kind and thoughtful. (We should all be more Ottoline.) Second, the world, in which it's accepted that parents just go off travelling around the world sending postcards and leaving you to get on with things and yellow cats can run gangs of dogs. Third, of course the illustrations, but also the celebration of drawing generally.

I had a lovely chat with a school librarian last night about comics, and about how much hard work it is to fight against the idea that they are not "proper books". Honestly, librarians are made of stronger stuff than me. I would simply kick off under those circumstances. #KidLitUK

What my 9yo and I are reading this week. Plus everything he's reading at school 📚 Reading to him is already dropping off a little in Year 5 because he's so keen to read his own book independently; I hope we can keep it up as long as possible. #KidLitUk #UKKidLit

Popped into Bristol's lovely Heron Books this weekend, one of my favourite bookshops, and was chuffed to spot a copy of The Feathered Book

A Scrap of Moss & Magick is published on 8/10 & I'm here to persuade you to pre-order it, if you like gothic fantasy children's books with folkloric creatures, isolated country houses, magic going awry & magpies with attitude.
