Sarah Ziman (aka BardyMum) - Bison Rule, OK! is out now! @bardymum.bsky.social · 27/11/2024

To celebrate being reviewed in The Guardian - did I mention it? 😁 - I have a copy of ‘Why did my brain make me say it?’ to give away. Perfect for a primary school library or as a Christmas gift. Just comment with a 🧠 emoji, like, follow and repost #UKKidLit #EduSky #teachers UK & Ireland only please

Why Did My Brain Make Me Say It? by Sarah Ziman, Troika, £8.99
For 7+, Ziman's debut poetry collection is a joyous, zingy feast of verse that plays assuredly with form while welcoming the reader. From hilarious lists ("Reasons my little sister cried this week") to the understatedly moving ("Tadcu's Lemons"), it will establish Ziman as a new favourite for poetry fans.

A thrilling sequel to ‘Aliya to the infinite city’ from @lailarifaat.bsky.social for today’s #TuesReviews. Time travel on a train, ancient, modern and future Egyptians, ‘mythicals’ like sphinx & of course, the sinister Dorian Darke... Fantastic #middlegrade adventure in a fabulous setting! #booksky

Excellent guest post by Shannon Messenger on the slow burn of Keeper of the Lost Cities. It’s absolutely my favorite #mglit series…To hear about its humble beginnings is shocking but so inspiring!✨ teenlibrariantoolbox.com/2024/11/20/s...
