Parents regularly ask me “How do I get my child to read?” I ask them “How much do you read in front of your kids?”
My parents read a lot in front of me.
One of the books on my Dad’s bookshelf was this one. I vaguely remember him telling me about it when I asked. Finally got round to reading it…

Reeves says the govt is knocking down barriers to growth – but why won’t they touch the biggest one of all?
A new 🇬🇧🇪🇺 UK-EU customs union would be the most powerful boost to our economy. Refusing to even consider it isn’t just unambitious – it’s actively holding Britain back.

Another study, & AMOC is weakening even faster than previously predicted.

When it tips, the UK - & much of the planet - will become unlivable.

Deafened by the silence waiting for a journalist to ask the government about this.

The Doomsday Clock is now set at 89 seconds to midnight - the closest it has ever been.🕛

Increased militarisation, nuclear threats, the rise of AI, and our inability to take decisive action on climate change have pushed us closer to the brink.

This is a warning to world leaders.

Today, the Bulletin’s Science and Security Board sets the #DoomsdayClock at 89 seconds to midnight.

"The world depends on immediate action."

But once the sleepover starts, it becomes clear that they are not alone in Darkling Manor and someone really wants to play with the new girls. Will Bella and the girls solve the mystery of the ghost’s game or will she trap them forever in Darkling Manor? One for those who love a spooky story!

So when she moves into Darkling Manor she is tricked into hosting a Halloween sleepover by a couple mean girls. Luckily, a kind girl, Lex, sees what’s happening and goes along to help Bella.

Children's books are never "just" for children. They are books written for an audience that includes children, but excludes absolutely no-one at all. They are really books for EVERYONE, and you can never, ever, EVER be too old to read them, and to love them!

It's simple really.
The more books you read, the greater the chance a magic portal will open in one and transport you into that realm.
