#Calm by @sjbakerauthor.bsky.social feels so real, that I'm not entirely sure that it's fiction... 😱 Enforced Drugs ✔️ Resistors ✔️ Unreliable Authority ✔️ Disappeared People ✔️ Escape ✔️ Heart in Mouth Action ✔️ Wowsers, this has it ALL! Thanks @troikabooks.bsky.social @youthlibrarygroup.bsky.social

A translucent pill takes up most of the image, set against a mid-blue background, patterned to look like bubbles. The pill is half full of a dark blue liquid, a figure in red stands waist-deep inside the pill. The figures' arms are raised towards the top of the pill, with hands splayed out, like they are resting on the walls of the pill.  The title, across the top of the image, above the pill, looks like it has been sprayed on with a stencil, parts of the white paint is badly applied and the letters are rough looking and smudged. Paint drips from the letter C as if too much paint was sprayed at the stencil. The style jars with the title of the book - calm, as it looks very distressed. In contrast, the authors name, also in white, is in a clear simple font. A code is visible on the pill - what does it mean?

Wonderful work, Sue, inspiring pupils and sharing such important history and insights. 👏👏👏 #Cobalt #Zinc

Thanks @sue_klauber @troikabooks.bsky.social for giving @apschool.bsky.social pupils an amazing opportunity to read and contribute their thoughts and ideas to your third book. We look forward to reading the final version when published in the autumn. #ReadingForPleasure #NationalYearofReading

Lovely book post today. Jakub’s Otter was published on 31st October last year, so it’s wonderful to receive copies this October from a Turkish publisher! If you know of a Turkish child living in the UK, who might like a copy, let me know. First come, first served. @troikabooks.bsky.social
