David Walliams is trending - many of you know that I own and run a children's bookshop now and there are so many amazing authors out there whose work often flies under the radar as Walliams is considered the must read. So now I'm going to share some recomendations!

It takes a special kind of cruelty to see people who have lost everything, and are fleeing for their lives from war, torture and state murder, and think "Hmm, how can we make life even worse for them?"
