SCAREDY CAT, the fourth title in the Bigg School series is out TODAY! This time the year 7s of Henry Bigg Academy are off on a residential trip.

Three books published by Nosy Crow. Murder at Wintertide, Murder in Midwinter and Murder at Snowfall. They aren't a series. Different protagonists in each one.

I'm going to try a Bluesky giveaway.
Don't know how it's going to go - but I'm giving all three of these books to a school or a family. Cozy crime for 9 - 13 year olds.
One winner, UK only.
To enter tell me something about Christmas that makes you happy.

History matters. Philosophy matters. Languages and literature matter. Indigenous studies matter. Arts and humanities and social sciences matter. All of them.
