These have been a delight today. Relatable trio, bashing through solid horror stores that normally would be off limits to younger reader: pitching like this is a special skill, executed perfectly. Throw in short length & super readability, they are a must for any UKS2 bookshelf.

Was great to see #FridayNightLive back on telly … more please!

The system feels … broken. Surely everyone can see how broken this is

That's a lot of lies, corruption, deceit, idleness, and law breaking...

Thank you so much Dan Smith and the Wells Festival of Literature for the most brilliant morning. My class and son absolutely loved listening to and meeting Dan Smith. His spooky story made us all jump and then laugh. My whole class are so excited to read the many books they bought.

2 fab days of events at Wells Festival of Literature Thanks to everyone for such a well organised visit!!

The 1000 yard star of an author who has done 2 days of events, met hundreds of young readers, and signed hundreds of books …

Having a wander around in Wells and spotted the place where someone goes ‘splat’ in Hot Fuzz. Nice.

Fab day Wells Festival of Literature meeting lots of awesome readers!

#NishasWar by Dan Smith: a well-written blend of historical fiction and the supernatural for MG readers. Set in 1942, it follows Nisha as she escapes the invasion of Singapore to Northumbria. Why is she the only one who can see and hear Twig? What secrets lie in the house?

Ugh. Flight is delayed and there’s nothing open and … just ugh.
