There are two lionesses in a cage at the bottom of our garden and at night I can hear them roaring…. Disturbed by this circus and their cage hidden behind the great tent. In 2024 in France… really?

WHERE THE HEART SHOULD BE is @SarahCrossan's latest verse novel for young adults; a lyrical, tender and shocking account set in The Great Hunger of 1845-1852 when 1.5 million Irish starved to death while their British landlords took their wheat and evicted them. 1/3

@Emmett_Cath I understand it’s £90/ 1k words. But you should be able to double-check the figure on the website of a UK translators guild, don’t have the source off hand…

Never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So whatever else you do, please never stop encouraging kids to read the things they love. There is nothing more important! #literacy

Whenever I hear about groups of refugees arriving on UK shores I say *thank god they made it*, because adults and children in need of help are dying for trying to live, ignored or demonised because of their protected characteristics.
