Me and robin stevens wearing wildly clashing patterned outfits and clutching copies of Dragon School by Cressida Cowell. Behind us is some art cos we're in a fancy place for fancy people.

Shirt alert at an incredible launch for Cressida Cowell's new book with @redbreastedbird.bsky.social. Dragons! Pic by @primarylibrarian (on insta, still trying to tempt all the librarians onto here...). @cressidacowell.bsky.social is a force of nature, and a force for good. #KidLitUK

Oh thats adorable. Only a hundred years too late!

I now take the official policy that if a kid tells me they’re doing a report on me that needs a response for a good grade, I reply telling them to tell their teacher to give everyone in the class an A and cancel the assignment. I’m simply not having it any more on the children’s behalf.

Also, half of them are going to write to Roald Dahl or Enid Blyton, who are famously dead. They are going to get a bad grade because of the ravages of time! Why are you putting us all through this. Just get them to research our Wikipedia pages and end this madness.

Teachers, I am once again begging you to stop giving your pupils assignment where they have to write to and get a response from an author. Do not make us part of a child’s homework grade! We are inevitably only going to find time to reply six weeks after the assignment is due, if at all.

The cover of A Stocking Full of Spies is … gold! And all will be revealed next week …

And for your next mission … can you guess the colour of A Stocking Full of Spies’s cover before all is revealed on Friday?

Truly evil stuff.

And the title of Ministry of Unladylike Activity 3 is … A Stocking Full of Spies! Out on the 11th of September 2025! And keep an eye out for the full cover, being revealed very soon …

the "I wake up, there is..." meme photo of a tabby cat with stubby little legs, standing and looking at the camera, on a white background. top text: "I wake up" bottom text: "there is something wronger with Britain" there are two circular arrows between the text, going around the cat

Let the games begin! Please find attached a clue to the title of Ministry of Unladylike Activity 3, out from @puffinbooksuk.bsky.social in September. It’s hidden in the first paragraph of the book … can you unscramble it in time for the big reveal on Wednesday?

Wait and see!!

Haha YES!

Yes, she would have been! She was the only journalist with them - she didn’t make it all the way up but she broke the news they’d done it.

That is so great! I must say there’s a lot of misgendering on old articles about her, so it’s really nice when people do get it right!

It always just makes me so emotional. What a force their relationship had to have been!
