Lots of exciting new fiction for young readers hitting our shelves in the last few weeks! 📚

🚨James releases in paperback next week!!!🚨 Percival Everett’s wry and irreverent remix of Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn was one of our personal favourites of last year, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to put it into even more hands as a beautiful paperback 😍

Dengue Boy by Michel Nieva is a unique blend of the horror, cyberpunk and dystopian genres, and one of our most unputdownable recent reads 👀 📖 In 2272, much of the earth’s habitable land is underwater. Dengue Boy, a humanoid mosquito, searches for his origins, and the meaning of his life… 🦟🦟🦟

Admiring this beautiful stack of #RichardPowers backlist 📚 It may finally be time for me to get around to reading The Overstory 🤔

We’re so thrilled to announce that we have been selected as a regional finalist for Independent Bookshop of the Year London in @the-bookseller.bsky.social #BritishBookAwards! We couldn’t be more honoured to be recognised in such wonderful company!

We're looking forward to this one!
