The really fun part of drawing Wilomina: The Land of Dreams and Nightmares was when she transforms into a werepire - a vampire-werewolf.
There’s a fair few sequels being published at the moment, but I confess that, whilst I often buy sequels, I don’t often get round to reading them. So for this week’s #KidsBooksFriday, what kids’ book sequels are well worth making the time for in and of themselves? #KidsLitUK #UKKitLit #KitLit

Delighted to receive an advance copy of Wilomina - the Land of Dreams & Nightmares from @scholasticuk.bsky.social . I've adored @metaphrog.bsky.social 's work going back to the Louis books, I'm sure I'm going to be recommending this to our younger readers. #comics #BandeDessinee #books #livres
Factors that affect reading include poverty and the stress it causes, insecure housing, homework, assessment; cuts to public library services, school library cuts and "pressures on parents and declining reading among adults leading to less role modelling and less shared reading at home."

Here is a book launch of a new graphic novel that is happening at Waterstones in Glasgow on 11th Aug for anyone who fancies going along. The book looks really magical and has some great reviews already.
JohnChalmers+SandraMarrs=Metaphrog@metaphrog.bsky.social · 2w agoJust heard our editor is coming all the way from London to our book launch. No pressure on us, then, we do hope it's busy 🙃 www.waterstones.com/events/celeb...
Great deal for a book that’s going to be a popular one with readers. Fast paced and full of action, this is sure to be a big hit in KS2.
JohnChalmers+SandraMarrs=Metaphrog@metaphrog.bsky.social · 2w agoYou can get 25% off our graphic novel if you pre-order it this week. That’s a pretty great deal. www.waterstones.com/book/wilomin...
The opening chapter to #Nostos #Unflattening 2 is a 22 page, 15 foot long continuous sequence that is a retelling of the Odyssey. It’s been done since 2019 and I’ve been pushing to have it released as a standalone since to no avail, & really hoping before this movie, but here we are. A sneak peek…
“We wanted to make the world a better place & we see that in Wilomina, probably because she’s part of us in a sense… she feels like our kid” #comics duo* @metaphrog.bsky.social on their new graphic novel Wilomina: The Land of Dreams & Nightmares *not crimefighting AFAIK list.co.uk/news/metaphr...
Word of mouth, personal recommendation, was the first and remains the best way for authors to reach new readers long-term. New readers helps us carry on writing new books for everyone.
TheStainlessSteelRat@llygodenfawrdur.bsky.social · 2w agoIt was a Tweet of Mr Tchaikovsky that introduced me to Mr Powell, who has become a firm favourite and a must buy author for me. Mr Powell introduced me to Ms Newman and on the SM recs go.
