And if you are not reading it with a class, then why not? Brilliant book.

Her school summer reading challenge to read in interesting places…. Week 1 effort

Book post and then some! Puzzle pieces to open at certain page references, all adding up to unlocking at the end! This has the look of a “drop everything and read it” moment… thanks Alexander Armstrong and the lovely, lovely book goodie geniuses at Farshore

Apparently I seem to be writing a mini Toby story 😳 It'll be available to all newsletter subscribers when it's finished as a little sweetener till book 3 launches ☺️

The final battle with the Reaper King awaits so tension courses through every page. Mia and the Secrets of Lunis Janelle McCurdy is an epic finale to the trilogy. Out 15/8/24 for 9+. Don’t miss this! Thanks Faber Children's 📖 checkemoutbooks.wordpress.com/2024/07/31/mia…

Exceptional and unique. Dystopian setting, mysteries, unspoken history and well executed action. Sci-fi at its best encourages engagement with difficult and complex questions- this does so gloriously as it explores causality and the impact of choice. Thank you Alastair Chisholm

She’s still taking the reading in different places challenge very, very seriously this year.

Deeply enjoyable excellence. A world where magic has been diluted down and is in danger of being lost. Subtle and clever, with exceptional world building and rich supporting cast. Superbly developed lead character, dialect and beautiful insights on life. Magical. Ta L. D. Lapinski / Lucy Lapinska

Wonderful dual narrator tale of survival in the Artic. Beautifully set up, with just enough time spent developing the characters before thrusting them into peril together. Impact of climate change is shown first hand. Read at the beach to counteract the cold. Ta Ele Fountain

Really, really excellent. I-robot meets Cogheart. Digs deep into what makes a person a person. Beautifully paced, outrageously good levels of peril and brutality, dry and dark in places while offering hope superbly. Should have read it earlier.

Strongly recommend a beach hut week with no data left on a phone to help get reading mojo back….

A No Limits favourite - we're pleased to announce that the lovely Jenny McLachlan will be back for 2024. Her Land of Roar series remains a favourite in The Rabbit Hole Brigg while her new series which follow on from her book Stink, are a hilarious read for readers aged 7 and above.

Superb. Mortal Engines with giant animals, a dose of near-magical technology and the impact of group psychology making beliefs become real. Epic battles, fascinating world building but ultimately a tale of what it means to belong. A wonderful, wonderful book. Thanks Alastair Chisholm

This could be our new rally point?

Fantastic. Heist with a choir of unlikely characters running around prohibition New York, taking on a ruthless mobster who has stolen the ancestral home. Oceans 11 style exposition, and a wonderful main character in Vita. As always, she really does write beautiful sentences.

An exciting romp through a gamified dungeon. Dungeon Running is a spectator sport, with wonderful commentary from a couple of orcs bookending the chapters. Themes of friendship and underdogs having their day. LKS2 with enough tongue-in-cheek jokes for the older reader

Fascinating read. Amnesic main character discovering the world around her, (horror free)dystopia for MG, lots of interesting food for through with the rise of AI and great grounding for big Sci-fi questions. As always, another smashing Vashti Hardy story. Thanks Vashti Hardy 📚

Vivid and imaginative take on multiple forms of magic, and a wonderful way to open young eyes to the wickedness in history. Lots going on here, and a complex series of plots makes it a Y6 challenge, but there is a real depth of magic and history to explore. Thanks Dr Nazneen Ahmed Pathak
