Really enjoying this warm and funny Branford Boase Award winning book by Nathanael Lessore, ahead of interviewing him for the ALCS podcast next week

1/ I’ve never laughed so much reading a book before! Steady for This by Nathanael Lessore is such a positive representation of a boy whose story could have gone so many different ways. While it doesn’t shy away from the reality of poverty & prejudice, it’s an uplifting & joyous book.

2/ It’s perfect for age 13+. We need more books like this!! It’s just deservedly won the Branford Boase Award award. Available in store & online here halfwayupthestairs.ie/product/978147… I’m really looking forward to reading King of Nothing now! It’s on our recommended Summer stories list for teens

‘A real triumph’ and ‘a future classic.’ That it is and we love to see it. Thank you Charlotte Eyre and The Bookseller for making BIRDIE by Jacqui Rose - JP Rose - a writer of sorts Book of the Month. Congratulations JP!

Joyous, Joyous Joyous, to see my book Birdie and myself in this week's The Bookseller It was wonderful speaking to Fiona Noble about books, ponies, and life. Thank you so much it means the absolute world to me & 💜 to illustrator Keith Robinson Clare Wallace Andersen Press
