A 4hr 26 min train journey to get to #SHP25 . What better way to pass the time than to lose myself in some incredible #ChangingHistoriesKS3 Book 3:Fragile Worlds chapters. The author team and @counsellc.bsky.social have worked their magic yet again.

Mmm...I wonder which story book I'll read to my 4 year old at bedtime??! Have you got your copies of #ChangingHistoriesKS3 Expanding Worlds yet? If so please share on BlueSky. I love seeing copies out in their natural habitat!

In this photo are my two babies....and Rupert and Henry 😂 We're thrilled to announce that Changing Histories: Expanding Worlds c1600-c1870 is now out! Thank you to all the incredible people involved in this project and to everyone who's already ordered a copy/class set! You have impeccable taste. X

We’ve gone to press for #ChangingHistoriesKS3 Expanding Worlds! It’ll be hitting our warehouse on 13 June so do get your orders in! In my 10+ years of history publishing, I honestly think this is one of the best books we’ve produced. Spell-binding narrative, stunning visuals and super accessible.

It has been wonderful to spend a few days amongst so many people who genuinely value and appreciate my contribution/role in the history teaching community. Thank you for always making me feel like I belong, even though I'd be a rubbish teacher! You're friends first, authors second. #haconf25

A lovely acknowledgement of the role #ChangingHistoriesKS3 and the fantastic author team has played on @petejackson.bsky.social and @benbassett.bsky.social in their teaching of GCSE history through stories. Thank you Pete and Ben and congrats on your #haconf25 session.

Two outstanding Hachette Learning authors and remarkable individuals, sorely missed by all. A touching tribute to Helen Snelson and Nicolas Kinloch to kick off #haconf25

If you're heading to the HA Conference, be sure to stop by the Hachette Learning stand to check out a bound proof copy of Changing Histories Expanding Worlds c1600-c1870. Most of the author team will be presenting/attending so don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about the series.

When the quality of the illustrations matches the quality of the writing...

Every bespoke artwork in Changing Histories Expanding Worlds is a joy to behold. Stop by the Hachette Learning stand at next week's HA conference to see advance copies of arguably the best Yr8 History textbook ever made.

The final coloured artworks for Changing Histories Expanding Worlds c.1600-c.1870 are coming in from the artists. Bringing textbook pages to life is one of my favourite parts of my job. Beautiful illustrations like these work in harmony with the rich text to help build worlds.

Just received this feedback on Changing Histories Expanding Worlds c1600-c.1870. I'm over the moon as this is exactly what @counsellc.bsky.social and I set out to achieve when discussing the textbook design all those years ago. Each chapter and period has its own identity to help build worlds. 🥰

Gorgeous text, gorgeous pages. We're on the home stretch with the #ChangingHistoriesKS3 Expanding Worlds c.1600-c1870 proofs, so here's an Easter treat of a few pages. Every spread in this book is a thing of beauty. I can't wait for you all to see it.

One week on and donations are still coming in. I'm blown away by the £6,888 that the History Half team has raised. It just shows how much Helen meant to everyone and how many lives she touched. X

A History Half for Helen Snelson, raising well over £6k for Marie Curie. Huge congrats to Tim Jenner, @lambhearttea.bsky.social @historyrichk.bsky.social @catherinepriggs.bsky.social @kathgoudie.bsky.social for their epic performance. A truly brilliant day that Helen would have loved.

There are so many gorgeous illustrations that accompany the rich, world-building stories of Changing Histories Expanding Worlds (Book 2). This one from @hannahcusworth.bsky.social 's chapter on mahogany and transatlantic trade is my favourite. Stay tuned as it will be part of our sample coming soon.

#ChangingHistoriesKS3 - Changing the world of history textbooks for 11-14 year olds. With Book 1 Connected Worlds, we set a high bar for immersive story telling accompanied by beautiful looking pages. With Book 2 Expanding Worlds we're taking it to the next level. Samples coming soon!

@richkhistory.bsky.social is one of my absolute favourite authors. Down to earth, bloody clever and an all round top bloke. What an incredible key note on world building to end #ArkSoane25
February 8, 2025 at 4:12 PM
The genius of @michaeldoron.bsky.social outlining the transition from Yr8 to Yr9. Curriculum coherence at its finest. #ArkSoane25 #ChangingHistoriesKS3
February 8, 2025 at 11:18 AM
@jacobolivey.bsky.social outlining Ark Soane's Yr9 curriculum. If you like the look of this, then you're going to love Changing Histories Book 3: Fragile Worlds (out in 2026).
February 8, 2025 at 10:14 AM
All set for #ArkSoane25. A great day ahead!!

I honestly think #ChangingHistoriesKS3 Expanding Worlds c1600-1900 is the The Godfather Part II/ The Dark Knight of the history textbook world. Connected Worlds is brilliant but Book 2 is even better. (Screenshot from X/Twitter as HodderHistory has yet to make the move to BlueSky! 😅)
October 1, 2024 at 3:25 PM
Happy publication day to @petejackson.bsky.social for his new Edexcel Weimar and Nazi Germany book. Pete has been brilliant to work with. Based around cog sci principles this is the only textbook on the market that accounts for the new content and assessment changes introduced by Pearson this year.
September 27, 2024 at 8:16 AM
Looking forward to today's @ttrhistory.bsky.social conference. Lots of new and exciting resources on the Hodder History stand including #changinghistoriesKS3
