📖🐟🐱🐰🍒 MURRAY AND BUN! MURRAY THE VIKING (Book 1)

Fans of Max & Chaffy, Kitty Quest and The Story Shop series are going to love this super cute, time travelling, funny series. This is a jolly giggle of an adventure that introduces themes of helping others, accepting differences, problem-solving, following clues and our fascinating early history. I really can’t wait until the next one ‘Murray the Knight’ publishing this Summer 2024!

📖✨🔮🍕🍿 MIRABELLE AND THE MIDNIGHT FEAST (Book 10)

If you’ve been around me digitally for a while now you’ll know how much of a big fan I am of Harriet Muncaster books (Isadora Moon, Emerald, Mirabelle, Victoria Stitch). Harriet’s a powerhouse of magical stories for ages 5 - 11, writing and illustrating her own stories that never disappoint and I always enjoy. There are a couple of really great themes within this story (1) honesty - owning up to your mistakes and making things right (2) siblings - having an older sibling, especially who has recently become a teenager, can mean that spending time together changes, moods change, and the siblings have to learn to reconnect again, valuing each other and enjoying each others company. I’m looking forward to ‘Mirabelle and the Picnic Pranks’ this Summer 2024.

📖🐩🐶🎬❤️‍🩹 THE DAY MY DOG GOT FAMOUS (Book 1)

NEW from the author of bestselling ‘The Accidental Diary of B.U.G.’ series!! Not only are you going to love the doggie antics (and the ups and downs of the quest for likes on YouStream aka YouTube) these kids get up to, but you'll be stepping into the shoes of a caring and kind boy experiencing the loss and love of being a sibling to foster children, and learning all about his life with his mums and little sister. A wonderful story about doing the right thing, learning to put other's needs before our own sometimes, and remembering there are always two sides to any story (Destiny's family life isn't quite so boastfully perfect as she makes out after all), exploring themes of poverty vs wealth. Very much looking forward to book 2, 'The Day My School Exploded' in 2025!
