I wrote about time travel in books - including the fabulous Aliya to the Infinite City by Laila Rifaat

And now my favourites - not even joking. Look at these books chockful of adventure, friendship and shenanigans. We are very partial to shenanigans, if I do say so myself.

In the captivating middle grade sequel, #TheCityBeyondtheStars by Zohra Nabi, Yara and her friends change the fate of the kingdom and their magic forever.

Watch the US and the UK smash their own international global justice system and into an iceberg rather than turn their position on Israel around

guys I’m sorry I can’t stop laughing, zooming into the students and the silence like it’s the office 😭 they were not having it

Debut of the year! Out in August, 'Dream Hunters' by Nazima Pathan DREAM HUNTERS 1 August is a spectacular adventure, simmering with dream-magic & sizzling with treachery and nightmares. Pacy, bustling & brilliantly written. My review: chrissoul.co.uk/reviews-2024-1… Thank you Ellen Abernethy & Simon & Schuster Children's Books

Obscuring. That's what this piece is doing, and it's deliberate. Angela Davis says it quite clearly in Freedom is a constant struggle: 'Placing the question of violence, at the forefront, always inevitably served to obscure the issues at the centre of justice.' (1/3)
