46. Don’t Trust Fish!
Neil Sharpson & Dan Santat
Starting with classification of animals, this descends into a hilariously paranoid rage against fish and why they aren’t to be trusted. Dan Santat’s illustrations are a joy too. Genius stuff.

Ten years ago this book came out and I went to see it in Waterstones and went visibly all funny. Tomorrow it comes out AGAIN. Hot dog. Different cover now, up to date and all that, but the same good ol’ autistic heart. Maybe you should read it or something. @andersenpress.bsky.social

Book cover. Delightfully sophisticated muted colours, an outline of a house being smothered by vines a la To The Lighthouse middle section, containing vignettes of a guitar, a cup, a pan, a chair, a cat, a cactus, and five silhouettes of women.
Look at this gorgeous beast. Out next Thursday thanks to @andersenpress.bsky.social - in time for almost all of Autism Acceptance Month. The cover is extremely pleasing and you should judge the book by it.

Giddy up! This horseback adventure should be made into a movie
Ride North by Maria de Jong is a quirky and gripping tale of survival with a real sense of jeopardy
Lyrical, gritty, surreal. This is a pony story with a difference.
'Ride North' by Maria De Jongh is The Times children's book of the week.

His editor at Andersen Press, Chloe Sackur has said:
'Alex genuinely was an inspiration as a human and as a writer. He was a brilliant author who believed in everything he wrote, and captured voices and lives with truth and power. We’ve lost a great talent and a truly lovely man'

All at Andersen Press are saddened to hear of the death of author Alex Wheatle. Alex was one of the true greats of children’s fiction. He knew how to connect with kids and bring stories to life. His passing is a great loss to all who knew and admired him.
