Nipped out with the dog after work. We’ve had weeks of rain so seeing even a hint of light was nice.

Sun coming up and going down at my wee school. Last day done! Today I’ve played the grinch game in PE, played taco, cat, goat, cheese, pizza and taught 3 children to knit outside. Happy holidays!

Here are almost 40 of my favourite #MiddleGrade reads for 2025.
A fantastic range from wild fantasy, to gritty realism, historical adventures and more than a few scares. What a brilliant year its been for children’s books

Over the past couple of years, I've enjoyed putting together RfP book packs for @pandorabooks.bsky.social. A lot of thought and care went into the selections, and I think they make excellent 'starter packs'. They've recently been updated and are available here: www.pandorabooks.co.uk/jon-biddle-r...
