Damp and horrible today but let’s be honest it’s always reading weather here! Tea is brewed and I’m moving onto gripping, wise and warm mystery #PeopleLikeStars by @lawrencepatrice.bsky.social #Scholastic 🥰 #KidlitUK #UKKidlit #Kidlit
Copy of People Like Stars by Patrice Lawrence held in front of a decorated Christmas tree. The book’s cover shows three children - a white boy and girl, with a Black boy behind them - peeking around an open door. Their shadow, which stretches out in front of them, has the shape of a doglike animal.

Copy of People Like Stars by Patrice Lawrence in front of a Christmas tree. The book’s cover is partially obscured by a gold star and orange ribbon that are wrapping it but shows three children peering round an open door with their shadow cast on the floor in front of them forming the shape of a doglike animal.

😀 By the way, just finished #peoplelikestars and find myself really wanting a book about how Vixen got into foxes and her path to art via punk...! I imagine she had quite the teenagehood? 🤣

This sounds right up my street, Patrice! Is it out now, or publishing soon? Whichever, will def. add #PeopleLikeStars to my #MustGetMyHandsOnThis booky wishlist!

Once more, but with make up.

PEOPLE LIKE STARS, my new middle grade contemporary mystery is out today.

Three young people.
A stolen baby.
A family secret.
A grumpy tattooed woman of a certain age who definitely bears absolutely no resemblance to anyone I know. Or am.

Top night celebrating the publication of @lawrencepatrice.bsky.social‘s

Dazzling venue-Camden Art Centre-perfect synch for PLS’s punk thread.

Dazzling smiles to match such a joyous occasion.

Dazzling book stall imo😉

I’ve been curled up in the armchair with a compelling new teen mystery from Patrice Lawrence full of heart and drama - exploring the ripple effects of an incident 13 years before. Fabulous! Getting my reading year off to a cracking start. #Peoplelikestars @lawrencepatrice.bsky.social #Scholastic
