The Great Theatre Rescue is a dazzlingly exciting historical adventure set in the West End in the 1930s: a real showstopper that held me utterly entranced throughout. You can read my review at: bookcraic.blog/2025/02/18/r... @juditheagle.bsky.social #UKKidLit

Thrilled with this review from @librarylady.bsky.social It’s made me very happy 🤗 @faberchildrens.bsky.social

The Great Theatre Rescue, @juditheagle.bsky.social's latest title for @faberchildrens.bsky.social published 13th Feb is a delight, an engrossing plot that twists and turns until the final chapter and a wonderful cast of characters. I loved this! #UKKidLit alibrarylady.blog/2025/01/17/t...

It's been a while, so I thought I'd do an intro. I'm the author of, The Travelling School Mysteries, book 4, Libby and the Egyptian Escapade is publishing Jan 25. After 11 years working as a primary school librarian, I'm shortly off to work in a secondary school library. Come say hi!

New year, new newsletter! If you're not signed up, you can here! But also if you're not checking email yet...here! It's about The Dark is Rising and NK Jemisin and why it's ok to be as subtle as a large rock to the head sometimes. #KidLitUK open.substack.com/pub/louiesto...

‘In Charley’s eyes, Wilbert Heaven was a god. Not only had he played all the best clubs in Harlem, he had met all the ‘greats’ and had actually seen the famous tap-dancing Nicholas Brothers performing first hand!’ The Great Theatre Rescue 13/02/25 @faberchildrens.bsky.social #ukkidlit #kidlituk

‘By day it looked nothing out of the ordinary. By night it was something special. Ablaze with twinkling lights spelling out The Wren in glamorous swirling letters. It was the smallest theatre in Soho, but also one of the best.’ The Great Theatre Rescue Feb 13th #KIDLITUK @faberchildrens.bsky.social

I'm looking for Creative Writing academics - do you know any here? I made a Starter Pack for those I've spotted already, but I know there must be many more (and my list skews female right now!). Reply to be added (or taken off, of course). Thanks! go.bsky.app/3Tumz8d #AcademicSky #writingcommunity

Have spent a rainy few days in Coniston, walking and visiting the homes of John Ruskin, William Wordsworth, and Beatrix Potter. This is Dorothy W’s special tea-cup - which cost a bit more than she anticipated - and meant she couldn’t afford to buy the kettle with which to make her tea ❤️

Lovely weekend at #CheltLitFest with my mum and sisters.
