Wandered into a lovely (good natured) argument in y4 yesterday. The whole class have split into factions over which is the greatest world: Podkin or the Land of Roar…. Think the book choices are hitting home! Even split at the moment…. Jenny McLachlan Kieran Larwood

Discovered and loved by Little Miss T as her class book. Leonora is a cracking lead character, and pulls a story full of wild adventures along well. Nice comedy sidekicks, but the eye opening discovery that her world is not as she thought is executed perfectly. Thanks Lucy Brandt

A nicely different take on the magical school for the gifted genre: graduation brings the promise of immortality. Throw in an underwater setting, high stakes trials, dark history and high potential imaginative powers and there is a lot going on here. Thanks Siobhan McDermott (麥舒雲)

18 tonne lorry getting stuck trying to get off school site? Bogged down as kids are just due to come outside? Think that one should be a NPQ module. Rum needed.

Edge-y excellence again. Expecting a twist, but was countered with layers and a delightful slow reveal. Inception meets interstellar. And a bond film. And a monster movie. Smashing as somehow it manages to wrestle so much into a brilliantly cohesive story. Thanks Christopher Edge

But now imagine a less confident reader/contributor and how the threat level changes when the question becomes

What might this tell you about Myra's father?

Or even better

What might this tell us about Myra's father?

Exceptionally good. The pace is relentless, the stakes are risen even further and the two timelines are entwined ever more intricately. This is a tale that just keeps giving and getting better as it grows. Perfection- now just an agonising wait for the next one! Thanks Kieran Larwood

The quest to clear some of the TBR pile backlog before buying anything new is being sorely tested by the discovery that the Podkin finale is now in paperback…

After 15 months of not being able to use the school grounds for anything (very long story involving rouge electricity) , am I not sure seeing the joy of a whole school bounding onto the field and re-discovering it can be topped….

Love books with multiple narrators. The seemingly trivial overlaps of 10 unique tales build a developed story of a community. 10 lives, wonderfully explored and celebrated. Each one encourages the reader to most definitely look both ways- especially the penny pinching “low cuts”.

Few weeks mostly away from Twitter/X.

Come back and election-ness seems to be covering up the usual half term edu-spat? Or has the algorithm just gone wild for politics all of a sudden?

Disappearances, clock mechanics and a surprisingly in depth explanation of parliamentary procedure… concept of metric time is the tip of the iceberg here, yet despite not holding back any complexity it remains an accessable mystery action investigation. Bravo Sam Sedgman

A different angle on Arthurian legends, in a setting bubbling with possibilities. Fable house is a haven for the children and when it comes under threat they must dig deep to prove that two worlds have been wrong to discount them. Beautifully voiced. Ta E.L. Norry - author/screenwriter
