Pia's Pet Club by @serenakpatel.bsky.social is perfect for animal lovers. My eldest inhaled this doggy tale and may have (over) identified with the woes of been unable to have a pet. #KidLitUK

I Am Raven by Alastair Chisholm @alastairc.com was always going to be on our must read list following the brilliance that is I Am Wolf. It did not disappoint, and has only left us desperate for more from this unique world. @nosycrow.bsky.social #KidLitUK

Letters to a Monster by Patricia Forde and Sarah Warburton is an imaginative tale told through humorous letters between Sophie and the monster who lives under her bed. We loved watching fear and mistrust blossom into friendship.

Ice Apprentices by Jacob North is an icy adventure that I am glad I got to share. The magical world is deeply immersive, the plot action packed and so edge of your seat that parts of it was read to a lump hiding under the duvet! We need more from this series! #KidLitUK
