Meandering my way through Leonard and Hungry Paul by Rónán Hession
Just thought of The Rewilders by @lindsaylittleson.bsky.social
I had a list a while back but can’t find it now so off the top of my head…

Not My Fault by @cathhowe.bsky.social
Murder for Two by @niylafarook.bsky.social

I really enjoyed it and the second one in the series is out later this year. Still impressed that I managed not to include The Murderer’s Ape but I mention that one all the time!

As you’ve already said, lots of types of story could be adventure stories so I’ve chosen a range but I could have included so many!
#SundayMorningBookChat for April. On my blog in honour of the Year of Reading I explored the genre of Adventure! What are your favourite adventure stories or series tomsbookcorner.wordpress.com/2026/04/18/t...

A copy of We Are Dragon by Alastair Chisholm with cover artwork, showing a black and yellow dragon, by Karitas Gunnarsdottir
It’s taken me a couple of weeks to read as I’ve been struggling with my energy, but I’ve finally finished the brilliant We Are Dragon by @alastairc.com.
A superb conclusion to a fabulous series and I’ve particularly loved Rieka’s part of the story. Though Fillan and Kevin are also just a joy. ❤️
Cover of The Soup Movement by Ben Davis
Cover of The Snowman Code by Simon Stephenson
Cover of Frank and Bert by Chris Naylor-Ballesteros
Cover of The Space We’re In by Katya Balen
I’m not sure if these are quite what you meant but they definitely have some characters showing kindness. Hope you have a lovely relaxing weekend to make up for a stressful week.

I’m hoping #Bluesky will be in more robust health for this today. 🤞
It’s been a bit of a week, made brighter with pockets of immense kindness.
So for #KidsBooksFriday this week, I thought we could celebrate books that highlight the importance of kindness.

For #KidsBooksFriday this week I wanted to highlight books that are perfect for the chronically underserved 12-14 age group.
What great books would you encourage kids to seek out at this age?

Cover of Echostar Is Always Listening by Holly Ovenden showing a hooded silhouette on a blue background of networked lines
Fake and Away With Words are favourites of mine and The Lie Tree by Frances Hardinge was brilliant. I don’t read much for this age group but enjoyed Echostar by @melindasalisbury.com
Today's Read to the Beat! recommendation is a book that never fails to move a class.
Birdsong, written by Katya Balen and illustrated by Richard Johnson, is really special. Published by @barringtonstoke.bsky.social, it's a triumph. Not a word is wasted. It's lyrical, empathetic and heartbreaking.
It’s publication day for WE ARE DRAGON, by #WhiskyTheDog (and me!) 🐉🐉🐉
@nosycrow.bsky.social #WeAreDragon #IAmWolf #KidLitUk
Real life stories of incredible achievements - both great reads and brilliantly illustrated #ChristopherRiley @martinimpey.bsky.social #HarbourMoonPublishing #MarkusMotum @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social
Covers of The Greatest Project in Space by Markus Motum and Where Once We Stood by Christopher Riley with illustrations by Martin Impey.
Without knowing much about the Artemis program, I turned the radio on just after they lifted off. I find space fascinating and scary in equal measure but thought we needed some books to celebrate in the school library. I hope these will inspire future scientists! #KidLitUK #UKKidLit

The book WE ARE DRAGON by Alastair Chisholm, plus a congratulations card from Nosy Crow. The caption above the picture reads “Two Sleeps Till Dragon Day!”
I LOVE working with @nosycrow.bsky.social! 😍 From concept-bashing to editing, proof-reading to cover design, sales, publicity, audiobooks, a hundred things in between – everyone there is brilliant and enthusiastic. Looking forward to seeing you at the London launch!

Cover of All the Colours of the Dark by Chris Whitaker showing a photo of the shoreline of a lake that has been recoloured.
A departure from my normal diet of children’s books. Started it at the weekend and I’m nearly half way through but it’s chunky! Just as well it’s the Easter holidays.
Three books: I Am Wolf, I Am Raven and We Are Dragon, all by Alastair Chisholm.
I'm blown away to see these books together. All three were designed by #RayTierney and illustrated by #karitasart, and they look phenomenal!
#WeAreDragon arrives this Thursday, so pre-order if you can from any good bookshop. I hope you enjoy the finale!

We use those to inspire a writing unit too.
