Loved this gripping trilogy @Ellen_Renner @NosyCrowBooks Set in a beautifully imagined world of islands where Elemental spirits rule & pirates known as The Drowned Ones roam the seas. It’ll take Storm’s extraordinary magical powers & her friends to maintain equilibrium. #fantasy
Here’s a couple of inspirational books packed with ideas for outside activities for families.
At @FCBGNews conference this weekend, it was uplifting to hear authors talking about how they had used lockdown as an opportunity to focus on writing. Most notably @MichaelMorpugo & @nicolakidsbooks both of whom take inspiration from and celebrate the natural world so eloquently.
Happy 4th Birthday 🎂to #BookIllustrationOfTheDay @mrjamesmayhew This is one of Michael Foreman’s fabulous watercolour illustrations for #PeterPanAndWendy by J M Barrie. Elsewhere, Foreman’s signature colour palette perfectly matches the dream quality of this classic story.
Author @tbradman introduces a new information book which explores the facts behind his novel #VikingBoy Narrated by the fictional character it covers Viking culture & Gods, the life of a warrior, Viking art, poetry & myths https://t.co/IRWzs7CcIk @WalkerBooksUK #nonfiction
@MichaelRosenYes Remember teacher reading us #TheFamilyAtOneEndStreet by Eve Garnett & #RikkiTikkiTavi from #TheJungleBook by Rudyard Kipling. Then reading the #JustSoStories independently as a result …
9-12+ who enjoy @RossAuthor ‘s latest magical story #FeastOfTheEvernight should also try #Evernight @AndersenPress or #TheStorKeepersIsland trilogy @KidsBloomsbury; or old favourites like #CharmedLife @HarperCollinsCh or #AWizardOfEarthsea @PuffinBooks - both first in series
Recommend for 9-12s (& adults!) who enjoy #Glassheart @KatharineOrton similarly compelling magical adventures like the #Crowfield books @chickenhsebooks, the #Spellchasers trilogy @DiscoverKelpies, #Evernight @AndersenPress & Katharine’s first book #Nevertell @WalkerBooksUK
The deftly woven threads making up the fabric of this touching story stretch back four generations. #WhenSecretsSetSail @SitaBrahmachari is about displacement & home, family history & cultural heritage, family & friendship. Magical realism inspired by the true story of ayhas. 🪡
Loved this #YA novel about two 17 year old boys forced to spend a holiday together who fall in love. #HereTheWholeTime by Brazilian @vitormrtns & translated by Larissa Helena @HachetteKids Narrated by Felipe who is full of insecurities. Funny, tender & full of positivity #LGBTQIA
