Found my old Faraway Tree books!
Books for this age group would probably cost £7.99 today. Guess how much they sold for back then?
(No rude jokes about my age 😉)

This is hard to choose 😅 I feel like friendship is at the heart of sooo many middle grade books.
I had feedback early on that Toby needed people his own age to share the adventure and not just a bunch of middle-aged and elderly witches 😅
This one came into my head first too!

The book cover for Silent Night featuring a caravan in the centre, a night sky with bluish hues and dark fir trees surrounding the caravan
Happy publication day to @emmaread.bsky.social !!

‘If you’re disabled, you’re not ill.’
Sir Charlie Mayfield (author of the Keep Britain Working review)
This is who’s shaping UK disability employment policy. Shocking, he doesn’t even understand the basics.
I’m disabled because I’m chronically ill with #MECFS.
Unbelievable 😫

Like most people I automatically switch to @barringtonstoke.bsky.social too. Fabulous books for all learners. Also important to champion that authentic voice which is why I've chosen Wider than the Sea by @serenamolloy.bsky.social
