[Nicola Chester @nicolawriting]

As school librarian, I’m lucky I’m alive to the utter brilliance of YA/crossover fiction (do try it! It keeps you in touch, current, fresh-thinking & boy, it’s where it’s at!) This is one of the very best I’ve read for our time #OntheEdge @nmgarrard @oldbarnbooks 1/3

Was honoured to be part of the @The_UKLA 3-6+ longlisting panel.

This is an amazing set of books that would work brilliantly in Early Years and Key Stage 1 (and even in KS2 if I’m honest) #PicturebookPage

We are delighted that two Troika books have made it to the @The_UKLA awards longlist. Congratulations to @RumbleCoral and @BardyMum for #JakubsOtter and #WhyDidMyBrainMakeMeSayIt - brilliant publications, and well deserved. 🥂

[Coral Rumble @RumbleCoral]

Oh my, thank you @The_UKLA! So many of my favourite authors are here - what an honour to be longlisted alongside them. AND what joy to see @BardyMum in the mix!

[Simon Smith @smithsmm]

“The Fate of Podkin One-Ear” is an epic finale to a truly wonderful series.

A perfect ending after 9 books full of hope and love. An outstanding adventure of good versus evil and a sad farewell to our two hero’s.

It’s now been stolen by a Year 6 child. #KieranLarwood

[Zephyr Books @_ZephyrBooks]
