I Am Raven by Alastair Chisholm @alastairc.com was always going to be on our must read list following the brilliance that is I Am Wolf. It did not disappoint, and has only left us desperate for more from this unique world. @nosycrow.bsky.social #KidLitUK

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.

The Watcher, Gargoyles book 2, by @tamsinmori.bsky.social had us gripped. Last chapter was read this morning as we just couldn't wait for bedtime. We love the magical world, tight friendship group and interesting moral dilemmas and character development. #KidLitUK @uclanpublishing.bsky.social

If Six The Musical was a book it would be The Six Queens of Henry VIII by Honor Cargill-Martin and Jaimee Andrews. An engaging, colourful book that explores some lesser known histories of these famous ladies. #KidLitUK

Working our way through The Music Box GNs by Carbone and Gije, translated from the french original. Enchanted with the idea of falling into another world, Pandorient, within a music box. The illustrations are lush and the story is full of fantasy and adventure. #KidsGN📚💬

I am enjoying the linguistic angle of this YA fantasy: A Language of Dragons by S.F. Williamson. Multiple spoken dragon languages layered with different dialects and a secret dragon language at a frequency undetectable to human ears. Be still my nerdy heart!

Really enjoyed the final book in The Spectacular trilogy, Battle of the Stars, by Jodie Garnish. Combining a magical fantasy world with the theatre was always going to pique our interest. This book was exciting and kept us guessing, ending the series on a high. #KidLitUK

Alan sets out to fulfil his destiny to be King of the Universe, powered solely by an exorbitant amount of self-confidence, and assisted by his faithful sidekick, Fido, who is as calamitous as he is helpful. A super funny comic. We await book 2. @tommclaughlin.bsky.social #KidLitUK #KidsGN📚💬

Already well thumbed, with thanks @wrdmag.bsky.social @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social. Julius Zebra's latest adventure, this time in Ancient China. An absurdly comic piece of fiction studded with fascinating historical facts. Gary Northfield @stupidmonster.bsky.social always has us howling.
