Who made books out of cereal boxes and would love to teleport into your school? It's author-illustrator @jencarney.bsky.social! Read her interview at virtualauthors.co.uk/2025/11/04/1... and then why not book a virtual visit? It's almost as good as teleportation! #virtualauthorvisit #kidlit

Authors write the book, and authors or publishers release the book, but it's readers who weild the power behind the book. If you love something you've read, tell everyone, give it as gifts, sing its praises high and low. This and only this is the real magic in publishing.

After a lovely book launch (upset a little by some casual homophobia...) my book, The Day My School Got Famous, ended up at number 4 in the overall chart of Independent bookshops! Dead chuffed.

Here's what @andreinacordani.bsky.social, talented author and journalist, had to say about my latest book, The Day My School Got Famous, which is out on 6th Feb! 🙂 #readingforpleasure #readingforempathy "just what we look for in a children's book"

A picture of The Day My School Got Famous with a quote from Andreina Cordani which says: Reading this with my children (8 and 11) was an absolute joy. They were hooked from the first chapter - cheering for Ferris, chanting for school to be demolished, laughing at Aldo's bad habits. But also they were asking questions. What's fostering? Why does Nile need somewhere safe to live? Who makes sure kids like this are OK in real life? It made them laugh but it also made them think which is just what we look for in a children's book.

I'll be at Ebb & Flo bookshop in Chorley on Saturday 8th Feb 12-1, and at @waterstones.bsky.social in Wigan on Sunday 9th Feb 1-2. Come along for a chat and to get your books signed. #TheDayMySchoolGotFamous is out on 6th Feb! 😀
