Very honoured to see my book on this lovely list @booktrust.org.uk @bloomsburyed.bsky.social www.booktrust.org.uk/book-recomme... #BookSky #KidLitUK

Jordan Collver@jordancollver.bsky.social · 2mo agoGood summer reading for the family.

It's official: #DangerousInfluence by @sallynicholls.bsky.social is one of the @thebookseller.com's Top Ten not to miss in September 2026! 📚
Thank you to Greystone Kids for sending us a copy of Little Habitats: Fiddlehead Forest by Jana Curll, a book we have been waiting for since we reviewed Barnacle Bay in June last year! It's a brilliant STEM graphic novel, packed full of information, jokes and some truly dreadful puns.
Absolutely gutted 😢 A primary school library we worked on from scratch has been turned into a family room and the books will now be in the corridor. I know schools have priorities, but doing this in the year of reading! #schoollibraries #yearofreading #Goallin
