'A truly inspirational story about finding the courage to face your fears. Bailey's beautiful, lyrical prose takes you deep into the minds of her characters, pulling at your heartstrings, but ultimately filling you with hope.

HUGE thanks, wonderful @DarbonMel, for this review.

Thanks so much for mentioning #smugglersfox, Vikki. 😊As you may know, representing children in all areas of the Care System is close to my heart. ❤ My first novel, Snow Foal, also features children in Foster Care and adoption.
I must read the Jen Carney now.🤗⭐

[Vikki Fenton 📚 ❤️ @MrsFe77]

This is a special one from @jennycarney So little representation of ‘care’ in MG. Only other one I know and love is Smuggler’s Fox @sbaileywriter This one is funny and touching and shared the range of emotions. Actually a showcase for representation. I loved it. Now need book 1!

Oh I love a book Advent calendar! Especially this one! How lovely to see #snowfoal highlighted there! 🤗❤ Huge thank you, TMWS Library. I hope young readers enjoyed joining Addie and the Foal on their winter to spring journey...🐴🌲

Today's TMWS Book Advent Calendar pick is Snow Foal by @sbaileywriter. Addie is staying with a foster family on a farm, while her mum gets the help she needs. Addie is full of hurt and mistrust but when she rescues a tiny wild foal she finds a friend who also misses her mum.

Our fab children voted for these amazing books as their *STAR READS* for October in our Book Off Reading Group. They chose some great books! @JenniferKillick @fivekingdoms @jasinbath @sbaileywriter @HollyKateWebb @Beast_Quest

I love these books! Both have compromised female characters who develop a special bond with unique animals. Not every #mglit book compels me to read, but these 2 are amazing! ⁦@sbaileywriter⁩ ⁦@beingcindy⁩

[Susanna Bailey @sbaileywriter]

@JulieKeat @beingcindy Thank you so much, Julie. I'm delighted to hear that.

My childhood in care: ‘I didn’t get why I kept being thrown away’

Ashley John-Baptiste’s (@AshleyJBaptiste) earliest memory, aged four, is of his first foster mother. He would spend the next 14 years bouncing between various families and children’s homes https://t.co/dfhONGSTfg

@nj13 That's so lovely! And what clever students you have! ❤

[Susanna Bailey @sbaileywriter]

Oh, thank you. That is the best kind of feedback. I'm so glad Jonah spoke to you. Thank you to your amazing class for recommending the read.🤗 ⭐ Let me know what they think!
(PS: seems you, Jonah and Freddie are kindred spirits in your love of fossils and sea glass, too!)

I was flicking through this at school and saw Boggle Hole mentioned.
My class said I had to read it next as we are studying the Yorkshire Coast in Geography.
What a heartfelt story and I felt every one of Jonah's emotions with him. Beautiful!
