“The Fate of Podkin One-Ear” is an epic finale to a truly wonderful series.
A perfect ending after 9 books full of hope and love. An outstanding adventure of good versus evil and a sad farewell to our two hero’s.
It’s now been stolen by a Year 6 child. Thankyou @kieranlarwood.bsky.social .

Just diving into the final Podkin from @kieranlarwood.bsky.social
It’s been a wonderful series, I took it to read in the playground at lunchtime and and at least 20 kids were desperate to read it next. Fantastic stuff!

Why read Billionaire Boy when there’s already a brilliant selection of children’s books out there exploring friendships? Here’s some of my favourites but what others would you suggest instead of Walliams’ book? #kidlituk

Jed Greenleaf by @kieranlarwood.bsky.social has absolutely blown me away with this fabulous historical fantasy — odd friendships, found family, and a plot so perilous I couldn’t put it down.
Jed is the sort of powerful, kind-hearted hero I love reading about, and I cannot wait to see book two!
