Fallout by Lesley Parr is fab. How To Be A Revolutionary by Lucy Ann Unwin really original. I'll keep thinking 🤔

I am still on the hunt for any great Year 6 appropriate books that do not feature any family death, especially parental. Please help a guy out - even if it's to plug your own book!

KICKFLIP wouldn’t exist without JAMIE being published… they really are sibling books. Seeing the reaction to Jamie gave me the confidence to write the Kickflip script in the first place. If you liked one, you’ll love the other! 💛🤍💜🖤

A trip to the Natural History Museum to plot a midnight heist. Such a fun research trip, feeling inspired to crack on with this story. Thankfully the Easter holidays are on the way!

For all those asking for more books for 12-14s, with 12-14 MCs, and for boys, I wrote this a while ago. It was Carnegie nominated and made into a TV series that won a BAFTA. Please buy it so it can finally earn out its minuscule advance. www.amazon.co.uk/Joe-All-Alon...

Definitely feel like the end of an era today. After 110k books issued, thousands of stories shared in library sessions & so many book recommendations, I said a tearful goodbye to my school. So thankful for all the kind words from the children and team, it's been an eventful 11 years.
