These are some sequels I really enjoyed and that I felt were as good, or even better, than the first in the series. I love it when your expectations for a book are exceeded. #KidsBooksFriday

Spent the week converting my library's catalogue to MARC21 format and then mapping it to correctly import into the new Koha LMS. It took a fair bit of trial and error but all the records/items are now on there as I wanted them. Plus there's a fancy OPAC (with cover images!) the students can use.

Brian Jacques' Redwall series was so renowned for the descriptions of the food and feasts that they published a cookbook. I haven't read it myself but I remember loving reading about deeper-n-ever-turnip-n-tater-n-beetroot pie and all the other lovely foods mentioned in the stories.

Spotted a frog in the pond I dug for them several years ago. Hoping there was more than one and there will be tadpoles before long. 🐸

Diana Wynne Jones' The Chrestomanci Chronicles, Chris d'Lacey's The Last Dragon Chronicles, Angie Sage's Septimus Heap series and Jenny Nimmo's Children of the Red King series are my go-to recs. Plus the Worst Witch for those who prefer shorter books. #KidsBooksFriday

Echoing the calls for any of Alastair Chisholm's works, likewise Jonathan Stroud's (especially The Outlaws Scarlett & Browne). But it's Garth Nix's Sabriel/Old Kingdom series I have waited the longest to see adapted.

The Bone Sparrow by Zara Fraillon and Boy 87 by Ele Fountain are two I would add to the list. They portray the refugee experience through the eyes of a child and don't shy away from what this can mean. Especially The Bone Sparrow which might be best for older middle grade readers.

Echoing what others have said about Adventures on Trains, The Clockwork Conspiracy and Fleur Hitchcock's murder mysteries. I would add in MG Leonard's Twitch series, Thomas Taylor's Eeerie-on-Sea books and, for older readers, Ravena Guron has some great titles.
