@gemma_cooper This is such brilliant news, Gemma - huge congrats! x

Such a delightful story, looking good in paperback too! Funny, adventurous and whimsical all in one package, perfect for 9+. This pub day feels bittersweet but it's lovely to be celebrating Lynne once again. @KristinaKister @watsonlittle

[Walker Books @WalkerBooksUK]

Remembering Lynne Reid Banks on her birthday, we are proud to have the paperback of The Red Red Dragon coming out tomorrow.

The Red Red Dragon is a warm-hearted story about a family of dragons in a world where humans have always been a myth... until now. 🎨 by Кristina Kister

Great pre-pub reviews of Puppet in USA.
'teeming with magic and stories... big subjects, including aging and death,are treated with deep respect and remarkable lightness.' Booklist (starred)
“A world that’s 'shambolic and beautiful, tentative and brave.'” Kirkus Reviews (starred)

[Emma Lidbury @Emdashing_]

This is so beautiful and will be such a brilliant book! A dream project to work on.

@MissCooperArt @bookgirl888 @CRSains I was about to say the same - ANYTHING by Kate DiCamillo! She could start with Raymie Nightingale or The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane.

If you have a child of 7-9, this fairytale, Three Tasks For A Dragon by ⁦@EoinColfer⁩ & ⁦@PJLynchArt⁩ @WalkerBooks is pure wonder. A scientist prince sent by his evil usurping half brother to be eaten by a dragon heals him instead, falls in love, and breaks a curse.
