I just read The Dad Trap in one sitting, a joyful & funny story.
@ianeagletonauthor.bsky.social is great at including "issues" without it being an "issues" book (friendship anxieties, neurodiversity, family breakup, homophobia...). Thanks @scholasticuk.bsky.social for sending me a copy #KidLitUK
Cover of The Dad Trap, illustration by Melissa Chaib. Blurb: When William and Florence meet on the first day of Year Six, they instantly dislike each other. William is impulsive, endlessly chatty, and struggles in school. His home life is safe and predictable just him and Dad - and that's how William likes it. Florence is sullen, cold, and everything seems to come easily to her. She's moved after her parents' divorce, but she's convinced she won't be staying long because they'll definitely get back together.. But then Florence and William find out that their dads have started dating each other! Now they must put their differences to one side. Because only if they work together might they stand a chance of SPLITTING UP THEIR DADS.

It's just one month until publication for A VERY HAPPY RAMADAN by A.M Dassu and Abeeha Tariq!

It’s Ramadan, so Rayhan decides to FAST. But fasting is harder than it looks, and soon Rayhan’s tummy is rumbling REALLY LOUD. Can Rayhan make it until sunset for iftar?

Do take a look at these 'This Boy Reads' packs from
@scholasticuk.bsky.social. Four packs per age group (adventure, funny, inspiring and non-fiction). They're already 40% off, but if you order now, they're even cheaper. And they're definitely not just for boys! shop.scholastic.co.uk/this-boy-reads
