To mark the beginning of National Non-Fiction November, #DungBeetle is the latest title in one of my favourite information book series #StartSmallThinkBig @Mamamakesbooks
Just finished the #ShadowAndBone trilogy @author_leig Loved the Netflix adaptation, which sadly stopped before #RuinAndRising A dark fantasy, aka tsarpunk, set in a Russia inspired world, featuring strong characters & relationships, driven by ancient magic. Recommend @orionbooks
This wickedly funny crime mystery is @mazevansauthor’s second novel for adults. Set in a primary school with four narrators & an ongoing parents group chat. Includes a disastrous school trip, a chaotic OFSTED & an awful lot of cheating. #ThatllTeachHer @headlinepg
Looking forward to National Non-Fiction November, the #BrainBooster series from @bsmallpub offers some great resources to engage curious kids. Each book contains 200 quiz questions, created by Eryl Nash, Sam Hutchinson & Vicky Barker. Ideal for libraries, book groups & home.

We're sad to that Brian Patten has died, aged 79. His poetry had fun in abundance – daft puns, groan-making rhymes, kids getting one over adults - but there was more to Patten than the light-hearted: he explored the sensitive side of life too. #BfK obituary to follow.
Today is a landmark moment for everyone who works to ensure children have access to #schoollibraries. To be successful, the initial investment must be backed up by ongoing funding, and training and resources for library staff. Read our thoughts: bit.ly/46Jrh0S #uksla
Today I am promising a library in every single primary school in England by the end of this parliament. That’s a statement of my values. That’s a statement of the value this Labour Government places on all our children’s futures. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

Time-travelling cold case detectives - I wasn’t sure, but loved it. Particularly the Victorian bits - where there is more still to be told, but with a satisfying resolution in the present. Fans of the Ruth Galloway books will not be disappointed. #TheFrozenPeople @ellygriffiths

I wrote a short article for @OpenUni_RfP about how we need to prioritise time for independent reading in schools. Even though it's vitally important, it's often squeezed out due to the pressures of the school timetable. ourfp.org/publications/b…
