KICKFLIP wouldn’t exist without JAMIE being published… they really are sibling books. Seeing the reaction to Jamie gave me the confidence to write the Kickflip script in the first place. If you liked one, you’ll love the other! 💛🤍💜🖤

A trip to the Natural History Museum to plot a midnight heist. Such a fun research trip, feeling inspired to crack on with this story. Thankfully the Easter holidays are on the way!

"Once again, readers are treated to an epic adventure that excites and teases in equal measure. The plot is pacey and @beckamoor.bsky.social illustrations perfectly enhance Jo's storytelling. Libby And The Egyptian Escapade is a fitting end to the series" @fireflypress.bsky.social Thanks Karen

Yikes, due to the weather we are unsurprisingly quiet today, a bit nerve wracking for small businesses on a Saturday. So, here’s a look at our current bestsellers and a selection of books we also love. All available here at the shop and online rocketshipbookshop.co.uk/product-cate...

Hello Bluesky 👋 📒 My debut children’s book, ALL BRAINS ARE WONDERFUL, is publishing in February 2025! 🧠 🌟Huge thanks to Dr Rachel Williams, The Boy Fitz Hammond and b small publishing for bringing it to life so beautifully! 🔗 Pre-order it here: bsmall.co.uk/product/all-... #AllBrainsAreWonderful

Definitely feel like the end of an era today. After 110k books issued, thousands of stories shared in library sessions & so many book recommendations, I said a tearful goodbye to my school. So thankful for all the kind words from the children and team, it's been an eventful 11 years.

We hope we’ll have lots of visitors this weekend, despite the weather forecast! If you can’t visit the shop, you can support us via our website, have a look at our 2024 gift guide here rocketshipbookshop.co.uk/product-cate...

I have NEWS! I have a brand new book with the mighty Barrington Stoke! THE BOY IN THE TREE, illustrated by Katie Lear, is out next May. Touching on themes of environmental activism and parental separation, THE BOY IN THE TREE is a portrayal of the challenges of adjusting to a new family dynamic.

So I have an Etsy shop with signed copies of my backlist and they’re all on sale until the end of this week and I bet they’d make nice gifts www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Star...

Absolutely thrilled for the brilliant and lovely Lucas. Huge congratulations!

Lucas Maxwell@lucasjmaxwell.bsky.social · 2y ago

Ahead of its February release in the US, there's a Kirkus review of Little Lion Girl by me and @fionawoodcock.bsky.social (Bloomsbury) "Perfectly captures a courageous youngster's explorations of an unfamiliar setting." So flipping delighted 🦁 ❤️ www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...
