Letters to a Monster by Patricia Forde and Sarah Warburton is an imaginative tale told through humorous letters between Sophie and the monster who lives under her bed. We loved watching fear and mistrust blossom into friendship.

Ice Apprentices by Jacob North is an icy adventure that I am glad I got to share. The magical world is deeply immersive, the plot action packed and so edge of your seat that parts of it was read to a lump hiding under the duvet! We need more from this series! #KidLitUK

My fifteenth book, out next month! Second of the Lizards books with the wonderful Tim Miller ! The plot: Daniel wears a hat! Only birds wear hats! Kerfuffle ensues! Out in June. Honestly, genuinely think it’s one of my best books. Everything came together like magic.

Really enjoyed Ghost Town, especially because it took the story in several different directions and wasn’t afraid to take some risks. Think this is definitely going to be a popular one with UKS2.
