How I saved the world in a week by Polly Ho Yen
The Blue Book of Nebo by Manon Steffan Ros
Two great dystopian reads that aren’t hopelessly bleak. The Blue Book of Nebo is a stunning YA book that is heartbreaking in places. How I saved the world in a week is a great middle grade book about survival and tricky family dynamics. #booksky
First there was a mind-reading sausage dog, and then there were... shapeshifting snails! Look out for SNAILS OF THE UNEXPECTED in April - written by me, illustrated by Brenda Figueroa, with cover design by @beckamoor.bsky.social 🐌⚡🐌⚡🐌

Ha depends on the muppet 🤣 Kermit, yes. Not Bunsen and Beaker (eek!)
Calvin and Hobbes cartoon by Bill Watterson, showing Calvin and Hobbes reading comics for pleasure
I don't believe in "good reading" & "bad reading". Comic books, graphic novels, manga, picture books, joke books, sports reports, all kinds of poetry & prose: it's all reading, and it's all good! Let kids read for pleasure - and they'll be readers FOREVER! #reading #literacy

Hi Abie, I’d love to be added to secondary please (especially KS3, years 7-9) Thank you!
