A fun middle-grade read for pupils who love books with themes of family & friendship. Sam meets Tess who has grown up without a father, until she learns his name, googles him & sends him a message saying he's won a competition. What happens when Tess meets 'dad'? @david_colmer

[Jen Calleja @niewview]

a brilliant presentation of the process of literary translation, created with an exceptional translator, Sophie Hughes. The point is not to show a ‘perfect’ translation, but to give an insight into the thought process of a translator of literature https://t.co/nUhXAMSZ97
