As a kid I loved going to the comic shop with my dad. They had older comics in the basement for <50p each. These are the series I really remember. Probably wildly in appropriate age-wise (probably around 10) but loved it

Q1. Remember this series making an impact. First proper meeting with death in a book - up until then reading was safe, characters safe. The final image is seared into my memory. Jupiter was such a menacing villain. Think is a fan (?)

Jenny Colgan is one of my absolute favourite authors of adult fiction and I was beyond excited when I discovered that she has written for children, too! Her Polly and the Puffin books have been gone down a treat with LKS2 in particular!

I think the characters in this series are hugely relatable to children. The books are a lot of fun but have family relationships firmly at their heart.

Some older classics and some more recent, but I love these books. Each wonderful for different reasons. I remember my year 6 teacher reading Goodnight Mister Tom and Adolphus Tips to us when I was in primary school and both were just magical experiences for me
