Staying in a house that has a reading room with gorgeous views of the North Devon coast. So far I’ve been on two beautiful walks (with obligatory cream teas) and read two gripping Gargoyles books! @tamsinmori.bsky.social @foxandinkbooks.bsky.social @daviddean-illus.bsky.social #UKKidLit #KidLitUK

I loved Fallout @lesleyparr.bsky.social on first sight, as cover by @daviddean-illus.bsky.social is bloomin’ marvellous! Things get even better as you dive inside. A beautifully written story about friendship & self-discovery.
Go read it - with an appropriate 80s playlist in the background! #kidslit

Happy book birthday to me!
Gargoyles 2, The Watcher, is out in bookshops today.
Thrills, adventure and ancient magic coming your way ✨️📚💚

Thanks again to the whole team @uclanpublishing.bsky.social and to @daviddean-illus.bsky.social for the spectacular covers
Image shows two books against a leafy green background. The first book is Gargoyles: Guardians of the Source by Tamsin Mori and the cover shows four children with a winged lion gargoyle. The second book is Gargoyles: The Watcher and the cover shows the same four children making their way through a blighted forest accompanied by a green man and two stone golems.

Fantastic #BookPost through from Maverick Books: Dragon Girl and the Graveyard of Doom by @jennymoore1984.bsky.social, with illustrations by @daviddean-illus.bsky.social. We reviewed book 1 in January and loved it! We can tell from the blurb (and that cover!) that this one will be just as good 🐉⚔️
