At just 14 years old, David Sonkita Conteh has published his debut fantasy novel, Outback — a middle-grade adventure tackling bullying, courage, and friendship through a wildly imaginative world. One of the youngest authors in the genre to watch. #YoungAuthors #MiddleGrade

Worth reading for the stunning array of all the different forms relationships can take.

TITLE: Goodbye Stranger
AUTHOR: @rebstead.bsky.social
AGENT: Faye Bender @thebookgroup.bsky.social

Hand holding a library book with a primarily blue cover. Two people face each other in a diner booth. A brown-haired boy in an orange vest is on the left, and a brown-haired girl wearing cat ears is on the right. There are plates in front of them with toast on them and milkshake glasses with straws. There are outlines of tall buildings lining the left and right sides of the cover. The cover reads, “Newbery Medal Winner Rebecca Stead, author of When You Reach Me.” The title “Goodbye Stranger” is written in pale yellow in large capital letters.

Almost everything I know about being a child, I know from having been one.

A certain afternoon light. Sun on my face. The creak of a rope swing, going higher and higher, up to the sky.

Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic are usually the subjects in grade four, but this year, Voodoo will be added to the curriculum to teach three bullies a life lesson.

It's 1994. A twelve-year-old runaway with no phone and no place to call home.

What she's really looking for isn't a place to hide. It's somewhere to land.

It's publication day for A Scrap of Moss & Magick! Officially out in the world, with @dfbstoryhouse.bsky.social. It feels at once wildly thrilling & strangely distant.

(Alt Text for extended thanks! Links in bio!)

Good luck, little book, out in the world! Go well!

A picture of my book, A Scrap of Moss and Magick, on a beautiful purple background. There is text around it: Out Now. From dazzling debut author Helen Parry. Illustrations by Melissa Castrillón.

Many, many thanks to everyone who has worked on this with me: the extraordinary David Fickling Books who are so committed & passionate about children's books (& especially editor extraordinaire Rosie & marketing genius Fern), to Liz Scott who's worked so hard & cleverly promoting it, & to Melissa Castrillón whose art inside & outside the book is so beautiful & perfect.

And thank you to everyone who has supported it: Philippa Leathley, Gita Ralleigh, Helena Duggan with their kind comments; Jacqui Sydney, Sally Farr & Leonni Lark for their lovely early reviews.

On a purple background with beautiful leafy fronds by Melissa Castrillón, a quote@ 'An instant classic. All the warmth of a hot chocolate with delicious darkness sprinkled on top. A must read for fans of Diana Wynne Jones.' Philippa Leathley, author of The Inkbound Series.

Hello #kidlitartpostcard day!

Spooky season inspires monsters and, in this case, scary makeovers?

I'm a Canadian illustrator, I love drawing for #kidlit and #middlegrade and am open to new projects!
