Loved If the Invader Comes @tompalmerauthor@BarringtonStoke Had to Google a few times which is always a good thing. Hope Cilla gets to fly in further books. Heart lifted at seeing Cadan give Mary and Jane a dressing down. Dad - hero and heartbreak!
Well @tompalmerauthor Saffron buns are a new one on me. Are they your snack of choice down there? I have just started If the Invader comes and intriguedโฆ.
Got this picture book biography of Theodore Roosevelt for a class in school but learned a lot from it myself. And I can now pick Teddy out at Mount Rushmore.
Sparks or how to give Grandpa a Viking Funeral by Ally Kennen: an intriguing charity shop find that I have enjoyed. Violet Veil Mysteries aside, I havenโt come across an MG book featuring the days after death before - even the chapel of rest. And a carnival! Windows & mirrors!
This was toe-curlingly good. Rather gory and rather brilliant. The style of Masque of Red Death is different - literally drags you along with it - and Bluebeard is a monster of a different kind altogether. Loved it. And it was from Whitby!
Excited to reveal where the Unicorn and National Theatre production of The Last Wild will be touring next year!

๐ตWe are wrapping up the SuperQuesters Mission: Desert Danger blog tour in style over on Instagram @jac_in_a_book.
Missed the action so far? Catch up with amazing reviews from @jacquiS21, @book_craic, @mrsfe77@vonprice and @checkemoutbooks.
@catherinebruton I am not surprised you cried while writing Tadpole Summer! What a heartbreaking and beautiful book you have written. Be it a window or a mirror for your reader, it is honest, raw and comforting. Loved it - now I have stopped crying. ๐ธ โบ๏ธ ๐ฆก @NosyCrow
@LAustinAuthor Alex Abbott is Un Dead is a fab read. The much-loved diary format combines with magical and mythical beasts but the volcano thread and Pompeii references are my favourite. Not many MG with volcanoes. Hope there will be more. ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐
Here I am for my stop on the launch of SuperQuesters Mission: Desert Danger. All fun and games again - with a puzzle I could solve this time! Who knew sand dunes move? I didnโt. You canโt beat learning while enjoying a good story imo @QuestFriendz@pauliancross
The Lionโs Run by @sarapennypacker is wonderful. Set in WW2 with a heroine trying to save a horse from the Nazis, it reminded me of Safe and Flight by Vanessa Harbour. โค๏ธThe lebensborn storyline, however, is new to me. ๐ Builds to a great ending. ๐ด ๐ฆ ๐โโฌ
