Had a fantastic time at Raigmore Primary on Friday, visiting the whole school with the #ReadingForce champions and chatting about stories and inventions. Thanks for inviting me!

A novel from #KeithGray is always a thing to be welcomed. He has an authentic voice as he writes about males friendships. Denny is about to move due to his Mum's new job but before he goes he has some things to do with the help of Jake, his best friend... Another great book from #BarringtonStoke

A review of the book REEK by Alastair Chisholm in the i newspaper. Review reads: "Even the most reluctant readers will thrill to this dystopian story of Sparrow, a girl living in a world devastated by a cloud of pollution known as the Reek. Now a tech billionaire has control of clean air – unless Sparrow can stop him. Dyslexia-friendly text tells a thumpingly good story."

The Beck by Anthony McGowan Cover illustration © 2025 David Wardle In a world that seems to be going increasingly mad, thank goodness for books and in particular those that are heartwarming and bring cheer. Possibly not best …

The glorious, heartwarming story of Kyle, whose life changes when his grandad shows him the wonders of the stream that runs at the bottom of his garden, #TheBeck by Anthony McGowan is perfect for 11+ readers and out 13/03 from #BarringtonStoke
