And then there is Betty Steady by Nicky Smith-Dale 🍄 . A riotous, hilarious lower MG fantasy with effortless humour woven into a story about how you don’t always have to face trouble alone. Fantastic characters, and a story I was sad to see end.

Two more debuts I have read this year. First up The Secrets of the snakestone by Piu DasGupta 🐍💎 - A feisty, brilliant MC in Zelie, who is not afraid to let her emotions surface in this brilliant, sometimes dark MG historical adventure.

Fab #bookpost ! Dream Hunters by Nazima Pathan . Can't wait to share this with my son.

Thanks for sending Rhys from S&S B🥑🥑ksellers & Simon & Schuster UK .
Out 1st August 2024.

“Spellbinding…vivid storytelling made fresh by DasGupta’s brio & her subtle postcolonial side-eye, one that also celebrates the work of female scientists, so often unsung.”

Thankss Kitty Empire for including Sssecrets of the Snakestone as a 📖 of the month in The Observer!

Psst!…. I’ve written a guest blog for Nosy Crow about the inspiration for Secrets of the Snakestone, including musings on circus contortionists & the need for pacy, page-turning children’s bookssss!

Thanks for reading it 😊

Thanks Tom! 🙌

Thank you FCBG for giving me such a wonderful platform to talk about celebrating sibling relationships and about my MG debut #BringingbackKayKay which is a sibling love story wrapped in a mystery adventure 🙏🏽

Gobbled this up yesterday & OMIGOSH! I really don’t think I’ve read a funnier middle grade book in the last 5 years than BETTY STEADY & THE TOAD WITCH! It’s as if PIPPI LONGSTOCKING was funnelled thru THE MIGHTY BOOSH! Such anarchic energy & witty daffy-ness that’s super joyful

Hugely excited to receive a limited proof copy of Nazima Pathan's debut middle grade 'Dream Hunters' (with some goodies). Set in a fantasy, reimagined India where dreams can be captured and bottled... Wonderful! Out August. Simon & Schuster Children's Books

Ahh brilliant Tanya, hope you enjoy!

Thank you so much to Nicky Smith-Dale 🍄 Farshore for inviting me to the Betty Steady book. A wonderful event for a cracking, hilarious book! And I adore the wonderful illustrations by Sarah Horne - we could all do with more self belief and #bemorebetty !

What a wonderful, delightful, joyful launch party for this beauty of a book. 🩵🩵
Many congratulations Nicky Smith-Dale 🍄 Sarah Horne 🎉🎉
