@jennieg_author @Bibliotreasures @mattcoyney @OrendaBooks @AJWestAuthor @aetwigg @KateFosterMedia @Inky_Josie @samuelburr @Helen_Fields @ConsummateChaos Definitely Suspicious Things, and I'll add Wild Ground by Emily Usher @emusherwriter . Both beautiful and heartbreaking authentic voices of West Yorkshire childhoods. Wonderful stuff.
