So... this happened. Still in shock
Winner banner for Tidemagic being the breakthrough book at the week junior book awards. Red background on the left with a medal symbol saying "the week junior book awards 2025 winner" and underneath that the words "Children's Book of the Year: Breakthrough" and then "Tidemagic: The Many Faces of Ista Flit". On the right, a gold background with stars and on top of that the cover of Tidemagic, which depicts a mysterious, misty cityscape, with a blend of swirling mist and crashing waves at the bottom. In the centre of the cover are three children. Ista is white and has short brown hair. She holds a tide lantern and has a curious expression. Below her is Nat, a South Asian boy with short hair and a yellow shirt. He is deep in thought and holding a pencil and notepad. Beside Nat is Ruby, a Black girl with her hair in braids and wound up on top of her head. She wears a purple shirt and has a determined expression and posture, with her hands on her hips.

Excited to be back as a mentor for the WriteMentor summer programme 2025! If you write for young people and have a complete draft of a manuscript but are feeling stuck with it, this could be just the opportunity you need! More info, including mentor bios: write-mentor.com/2025/03/23/w...
Image description: close-up on a haphazard circle of different coloured notebooks, some patterned, some plain, shot from above with the tip of a white cat’s paw just creeping into the top of the image. Overlaid is some glowing bright blue text saying in capital letters Write Mentor Summer Programme 2025. Down the sides of the image, on the left and the right is a narrow stripe of plain bright yellow, which was the background I laid the photo over.

Truly the most wonderful day of the year, and also the most infuriating #HiddenBooksGame

TIDEMAGIC: ISTA FLIT AND THE IMPOSSIBLE KEY will be out in May 2025! I am so proud of this book, and so thrilled with the gorgeous UK cover by Karl James Mountford. Huge thanks to @ambercaraveo.bsky.social and everyone at Puffin
