Entirely Emmie by @terrilibenson.bsky.social is another fantastic graphic novel in the Emmie & Friends series. This time it's an end-of-year camping trip with plenty of pranks. My daughter loves these accesible, relatable stories.

My 15yo daughter loved Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice by Katie Cicatelli-Kuc!
With Gilmore Girl / Hallmark movie vibes and a cosy autumn theme, this “secret crush to rivals” teen romance shows that fierce competition can turn into love.

My #PictureBookFriday is Follow the Swallow by Julia Donaldson & Thomas Docherty - a delightful story of seasonal change and friendship. This is one for the summer term.

Project Pony is a lovely story of family. Natalie doesn't like the idea of her mum having a boyfriend - she's worried she'll be left out. Maybe taking Mum to an "Own Your Own Pony Week" will remind her that horses and Natalie are all she needs.
