This book deserves a place on everyone’s bookshelf, especially in schools. This book is a fantastic resource for parents, carers, and teachers to read with children throughout primary school. It’s a great tool to help teach kids about online behaviour, especially the concept of ‘trolls.’

Ian Eagleton’s deeply personal connection to the subject matter, including his own diagnosis of OCD as a youth adds an extra layer of authenticity. This is a gripping tale that masterfully blends the real and the supernatural, offering readers both an exciting ghost story and a powerful exploration of mental health, friendship, and resilience.

I absolutely loved this book. The author’s life with her family on the farm no doubt provides endless sources of inspiration for her stories. 10 year old city-girl Ava spends a couple of weeks at with her Aunt Kitty, Uncle John, + cousin Tom on their farm during the Easter holidays, and it's the life-changing, life-affirming adventure she never knew she needed.

Having followed Xin Li for some time on social media, as soon as she started dropping hints of this book, I was hot on the case, and wow, does it take your breath away - it’s absolutely STUNNING! Xin Li cites many influences on her website including: Shaun Tan, Maurice Sendak, Jackie Morris, The Fan Brothers and many more greats… I love this empathy story about Emma, who finds the busy, loud side of kid life hard to cope with.

It was a wonderful to interview Naomi, her brilliant new picture book 'Thunderboots' tells a vital story about detecting signs dyslexia in our young people, and building awareness of the condition.
