I am extremely excited to be interviewing Katherine Rundell - one of my all-time favourite authors - about her forthcoming novel, Impossible Creatures, at the end of the month. This event is selling out fast so be sure to book your tickets asap!

Teachers of London! I've had a cancellation next Tuesday (20th) so if you'd like a visit in the morning send me a message and I'll see if we can make it work 👍

Just finished Wild by Ele Fountain - a great adventure story about grief, deforestation, and the many forms that bravery can take. It's out this month and I'd highly recommend picking up a copy at your favourite bookshop.

I know they say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but SF Said's Tyger is indeed about a tyger, contains beautiful illustrations by Dave McKean throughout, and is a masterpiece. This one is a future classic for sure.

It's a very good question...

I read Crookhaven a couple of months ago and really enjoyed it - cool concept, great characters and a gripping adventure. Be sure to check it out if you haven't already!
