This beauty has just arrived in the post and will be going to the top of my pile!

A photo of the cover of The Stitchwort Curse by me, Alexandra Dawe. The marketing text reads: Children's Book Festival: Magical Creatures Workshop with Alexandra Dawe Taunton Sunday 17th May 14:30 Join writer and illustrator Alexandra Dawe for a magical, creative workshop. Alexandra will help you create your own brilliant animal characters for a story, and then draw them to life! She will also be signing copies of her book The Stitchwort Curse.

Who wants to sit and draw in a bookshop with me?

Thank you very much for this review, I really appreciate it Stephen!

86. A Million Tiny Missiles All at Once by @lucasjmaxwell.bsky.social
I loved this book - the narrator's inner life is so well-realised and, like the very best writing for young people, the story is full of real pain but also such warmth and kindness (and GREAT jokes!)
@chickenhousebooks.bsky.social

Thank you!

Finished @lucasjmaxwell.bsky.social debut novel today! A very well written slow burner about family and neurodiversity on in snowy small-town Canada 📚👍

Book cover for A Million Tiny Missiles All At Once by Lucas Maxwell.

Gosh, what a book. A tender and heart wrenching story told with utter authenticity. There’s so much intensity and vulnerability, hope and fear - it ended up being just what I needed to read right now. Truly superb. Thanks to @chickenhousebooks.bsky.social for the proof.
