'Small Bomb at Dimperley' is my first attempt at tackling the upper classes. It's out on September 5th - pre-orderers will be worshipped - but I still have ONE GLORIOUS HARDBACK TO GIVE AWAY.
RT by Sunday at 6pm, and my dog will pick a winner.

Children's Book of the Week: 'How Far We've Come' by Joyce Efia Harmer, a vivid time-hopping YA tale that flits between an 1830 Barbados plantation and 21st century Britain.

Loved this in today's @scbwi magazine, from @FinlaysonPalmer. Impossible to read it and not start compiling your own list. Go on, I dare you. https://t.co/r8VPtK1qpu

Every single school should have a library & a school librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers & give them all the benefits of literacy! Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER! #SchoolLibrarianDay

This is stunning. I mean it. To take an old Abba song and to give it a completely new meaning with the aid of a Lego figure invested with more character than most of us would dream possible is an extraordinary achievement. I had tears in my eyes. Please RT https://t.co/Ww3APl69GE

Seriously? Definitely not a good idea today with my streaming, snotty nose

[Biddy Crews @BiddyCrews]

@nicolakidsbooks Happened to my sister too. It was quite some time before I used her bathroom again😱😱

My children's favourite book. My husband with my sons once took all the food out of our cupboards and switched the water off so that when I got home from work the kids could say a tiger had been for tea. We put their coats over their pyjamas and took them to the cafe.

@SueLukes @RichardWatts01 @ashaikhn7 Or this lovely idea by @EdibleBusStop (featured in this week's @TimeOutLondon)?
