I genuinely think AdventureMice will go down as children’s classics in years to come. They’re just so beautiful.
Readers, reviewers, booksellers, I'd love it if you could order/pre-order/review these Adventuremice books if you enjoy them and would like to keep the series going!

They're the best books I've ever worked on, and we're hoping to create many, many more 🙂🙏
Welcome to Hollybush! A peek at the sixth book in our series, 'Adventuremice: Mice, Camera, Action!'

Original watercolour paintings from the book will go on sale on launch date, 13 March, 9pm UK time in the online shop (mark it in your diary)! 🎨🐭

Another brilliant book for 2025 and it’s arriving 06/02. Preorder it with us right here rocketshipbookshop.co.uk/product/mart...
Marty Moose: First Class Mischief by Claire Powell is going to be a BIG hit here. A chapter book for younger readers, it’s lively, exciting and adorably absurd. Wonderful!

Four customers today. At one stage, I really did think it was going to be the first day in 29 years with no one through the door. I know it's the cold weather etc etc, but it's hard to stay upbeat when it's quiet. Want to buy a book and keep me busy wrapping tomorrow?

I stopped by The Rocketship Bookshop in Salisbury to sign a few copies of my book, The Dark Friars.

I may have indulged in a cider or two at lunch, so hopefully, my signature turned out okay! ✍️ 🥴

It still blows my mind to see my book on the shelves of a real bookshop 🤯

Here's your daily reminder that bookstores keep the love of reading alive — but they also keep neighborhoods beautiful. They are places to gather, to celebrate stories, to find community.

Please do your holiday shopping at your local independent bookstore, if you are lucky enough to still have one.

Unsurprisingly a very popular picture book for us this year is Flip Flap Build Rockets! Written by Stuart Atkinson and Ben Newman. It looks amazing and it’s full with facts and fun, a great gift for curious minds this Christmas rocketshipbookshop.co.uk/product/flip...
