Not doing a proper #KidsBooksFriday this week as I had surgery yesterday (all went well), and am libel to write utter nonsense today.
So maybe let’s just have a free for all on any great kids books you’d like to recommend this week.

William and Florence have disliked each other since the first day of Year Six.
But when they find out that their dads have started seeing each other, they need to work together to split them up… Let the sabotage commence!

I’ve had a lovely day celebrating the release of THE DAD TRAP!
I did a virtual event to thousands of kids this morning and then went to my local Waterstones to sign books!
There was LOTS of coffee and cake and I treated myself to a fabulous new coat!
Tonight is a takeaway and some champagne!
