"From the other world I come back to you,
My locks are uncurled with dripping drenching dew.
You know the old, whilst I know the new:
But tomorrow you shall know this too."

My 40th children's book review of 2022 is the brilliant 'Wren' by @lucyhope_author (out this Oct). It's a gripping, Gothic adventure that soars with scientific excitement and delves deep into fantastical folklore. Just beautiful. My full review: https://t.co/JlnLy17f7n @NosyCrow
