A wet and miserable afternoon meant that I finally got round to reading Stargazing by Jen Wang, @alooghobi. A joyous and uplifting story about an unlikely friendship between two girls. Cannot wait to share this with my class, they'll adore it. Thanks (again) @RebeccaLucas.

@book_awards @primaryteachew @_Reading_Rocks_ @TeresaCremin So. Difficult. Anna's War @farmgirlwriter took my breath away, The Somerset Tsunami @emmac2603 was utterly compelling, The Skylark's War @hilary_mckay had such tenderness and the most wonderful characters... Rumblestar @moontrug & Wildspark @vashti_hardy 💜💜💜 Can't choose!

@MrsC_KS2 @book_awards @_Reading_Rocks_ @WestcottWriter @BlogLibby Second this. Have just read it too. Not just nqts, ALL staff in schools should read it. I wish I'd had it 12 years ago.

One to watch out for!!

[Piers Torday @PiersTorday]

12+ months sitting and stressing in the pallid glare of a screen.

*thinks* Am I mad? Is this a dream? Who will read this?

Type. Read. Edit. REPEAT

Enter editor, designer and illustrator and team. Enter magic.

And then, one day....

Thanks for the recommendation! This looks really interesting!

[Dr Rebecca Garcia Lucas @RebeccaLucas]

I am bursting with anticipation to read these preordered next-in-a-series, debuts, companion stories and new books by great authors. Just had a big yakety-yak with my daughter about why we are looking forward to every single one of these #ownvoices children’s novels.
