Everyone should read it.

The Times children's book of the week is... SISTER SPIRIT by Efua Traore.

A supernatural thriller for 12+ that fizzes with energy and affection for its West African setting.
(Gorgeous cover too.)

📚The Times children's book of the week: The Royal Jewel Plot by A.M.Howell.

A satisfying mystery that takes (unlikely!) inspiration from Edward VIII+Wallis Simpson's infamous 1936 cruise around the Med. Also features a missing opal + a venomous octopus.

Lots of recollections varying after so here's a reminder of 'activism' in 2018. 👇

-Domestic abuse survivor opposes transwomen in same-sex spaces.
-Activist makes formal complaint re her 'troublesome views'.
-Woman loses role.
-Activist denies all.
