A fun play on the Stevenson Jekyll and Hyde tales, nowhere near Edinburgh though there are enough Goths in Edinburgh to be called Gothville. Fun and full of great illustrations #BookSky #KidLitUK 💙📚 www.bigbeardedbookseller.com/2026/10/08/j...

This was such a horrific book, way too much intimate detail of upper management in education, The Incandescent by Emily Tesh, bit of demon incursion, bit of romance, bit of mock exam marking, loved it #BookSky 💙📚 #Fantasy @orbitbooks.bsky.social www.bigbeardedbookseller.com/2026/09/12/t...
