Huge congratulations to everyone on the list especially @piudg.bsky.social and @nathanaellessore! 🥳❤️

Been reading the first chapter of #NathanaelLessore ‘s Steady for This with Year 8 in library lessons this week, and they're absolutely loving it! Every single copy checked out!! And all it took was me making a fool out of myself by rapping and saying "bruv" a few times 😅

We are thrilled to reveal the cover for Solving Crimes Is NOT My Superpower by Nathanael Lessore, illustrated by Simran Diamond Singh.

A laugh-out-loud series about all the different ways of being extraordinary!

💥 Out March 2025💥
