@ByYourBedside School libraries buy lots from charity shops as it makes their budgets go further, and is a cost effective way of replacing lost or damaged books.

@Louiestowell What Louie says is true. School libraries also. Just a few minutes spent with a reluctant reader can unlock whole Narnian Wardrobes of joy. We are able to find what sparks their flame without judgement or academic pressure.

It's #DyslexiaAwarenessWeek this coming week and I'd like to raise awareness of what @BarringtonStoke publishers do. For me. For lots of other authors. But mostly for readers.

School librarians are often asked by concerned parents about how they can encourage their child to read. This is one way that works for some.

We so enjoyed last night’s event with the fabulous ROBIN INCE at HBS, arranged by their wonderful librarian, Julie. Robin is such an engaging and funny speaker, and we felt inspired, informed and uplifted.

We have a few SIGNED books in the shop, pop in or email us to purchase
