I’m reading the joyful Captain Sunshine by Alex Milway at the moment and it got me thinking that we haven’t done a week on early readers yet. What great kids books for newly independent readers would you recommend? #KidsBooksFriday #KidLitUK #KidLit #UKKidLit
We are over the moon to that #TheEndOfEverything by M. John Harrison is on the 2026 Booker Prize longlist! Here's what the judges said about this apocalyptic adventure: 'shimmering and oblique, it holds the reader to the surface of something very grave and deep' thebookerprizes.com/the-booker-l...
The Clockwork Crow by Catherine Fisher – a massively underrated series #catherinefisher #middlegradebooks #middlegradefiction #middlegradereads #childrensbookstagram #books #childrensbooks #KidLit

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle died on this day in 1930. I first read the Sherlock Holmes stories as a child and immediately fell in love. I've read and re-read them so many times my old copy has fallen apart #books #writers #arthurconandoyle #conandoyle #doyle #sherlockholmes #sherlock #holmes
The great Vladimir Nabokov died on this day in 1977. I don't imagine you can tell it from The Feathered Book, but he's one of my very favourite writers and a huge hero of mine – a supremely inventive, witty, playful, original author. #books #nabokov #vladimirnabokov #russianwriters #writers

Today would have been the late Brian Jacques' birthday. I adored the Redwall books growing up – they're thrilling and charming, with just enough danger and darkness. #redwall #brianjacques #middlegradebooks #middlegradefiction #books #childrensbooks
