Thankfully not and we don’t have a cellar. He’s still there, so must be bad. We have a humidifier we can loan her once it’s been cleared.

Books aimed at teenagers (some older, some younger) that feature friendship. See ALT text for more info. #KidsBookFriday
Jessica’s Ghost by Andrew Norriss. Francis, an outsider at school, meets a ghost called Jessica and they become friends. Girl Boy Sea by Chris Vick. Bill is adrift in a life raft and all alone until he finds a girl called Aya who is floating on a barrel. King of Nothing by Nathanael Lessore. The story of a very unlikely friendship. Paper Aeroplanes by Dawn O’Porter. Gritty but funny story for older readers about Renee and Flo, two Guernsey teenagers in the 1990s.

My current read is helping to ramp up the worry
What we can know by Ian McEwan One section of the plot summary on the back cover reads, ‘2118: The lowlands of the UK have been submerged by rising seas. Those who survive are haunted by the richness of the world that has been lost.’
