Ivy and her brother Seb, along with Valian, have more adventures as they discover more about being uncommon. They play a game that might kill them, travel to places in a bag that shouldn't be able to work and take down some very senior people.

If you love a good murder mystery with multiple suspects and a huge plot twist, then this is the book for you. I read it in one sitting. Unputdownable!

Salim enters the London Eye and 30 minutes later, he doesn't leave. Where did he go? The police are called, but Ted and Kat decide that they can work out what happened. Ted puts his 'brain that works on a different operating system' into gear and to see what he can discover.

A talking llama, an elective mute and a crazy house combine to make a laugh out loud story. Yasmin has a lot to say but nobody listens, so she says nothing. Along comes Levi, determined to change that. Will he work his magic, or will he drive an even bigger wedge between her and her family?

This was such a clever story. A tale of magic and lies intertwined with well-known fairy tales - what a great idea! There's a message about differences being good and not a dangerous thing. I loved it. as did my Year 6 class.

Dragons, magic, kidnap and Death. what more do you need?! Hope lives in a black and white world. It used to be filled with colour, but not now. Could Hope help to bring colour back, along with her new found friends? A really lovely story about not hiding who you are and not just blending in.

This is a lovely story. Willow has 'the worst' magical power in her family. Unbeknown to anyone, Willow will do amazing things. It's a story about size doesn't matter and even small things can make a big difference.

@pennychrimes.bsky.social what a fantastic story. I fell in love with both characters; Hero for her determination and Jack for his methodical thinking and caring attitude towards her. Amd the ending ❤️ This is definitely one I'll be reading again.

Life is tough, and this weekend, it got tougher. But we're all together and (most of us) in 1 piece! Through the last few months, I've read. I've read some fantastic books that have helped me escape the rubbish. Hopefully, things will get easier, but aren't books wonderful?!

What a story! It's got it all: goodies, baddies, love, sibling jealousy, aliens, annihilation of Earth and friendship. There are twists and turns that have you guessing the whole way to the end and then there's the humour. It's laugh-out-loud funny in places. @idanielpeak.bsky.social

I'm so glad I read this. I was desperate to read it and it didn't disappoint. Poor Nate has such a lot to deal with every day but it was great to see him again My class will love this, they live a sad story! Amazing illustrations really bring the story to life.

@sallywrites.bsky.social what a fabulous ending to the trilogy. I cried and laughed and couldn't put it down. I love the relationships Toby has with everyone he meets and how he never makes decisions selfishly. Such a fantastic series. ❤️

We read Cogheart and my class loved it. So many have bought the 2nd one. It might not seem like much, but in my school, many parents don't value reading and many families are FSM. The fact that so many have bought the 2nd one is incredible. That's the power of books. ❤️ 📚

@ldlapinski.bsky.social never disappoints and this is no exception. I already can't wait for the next installment! So much adventure and danger and mystery and betrayal. I hope Ed and Elodie eventually get to settle down happily with their dads and be a magical family.

I couldn't put this down. It's such a beautiful story of how a young autistic celebrity navigates her way through life when she wants anonymity for a summer. It was emotional and at points, but I want more Allegra books. Please say she'll be back @ellemcnicoll.bsky.social

My 10y/old has been desperate for me to read this, so I did, and it didn't disappoint. It was funny and clever, and I'm definitely reading the rest. We're off to buy book number 6 at the weekend. @johngreenart.bsky.social

What a brilliant story. It's a but creepy, a bit sinister, but a really good read! Set in a sleepy seaside town and a museum, what could possibly go wrong!? Fast paced with some twists I didn't see coming. Absolute must-read for fans of mystery stories. @fionalongmuir.bsky.social

Another book recommended by my class, they're loving funny at the moment. This one had me laughing out loud LOADS as well as guessing about the curse. A brilliant story, like all of the ones I've read by Pamela Butchart and fabulous illustrations by @thomasflintham.bsky.social

This arrived at school on Friday so I borrowed it and absolutely loved it. Full of so many terrifying moments and cliffhangers that I'm not sure I'll be heading to the woods for a while! 🤣 I really hope the next one will be along soon, I need to know what happens next!

Ivy and Seb's Gran has been made to forget her past. Together with a stranger, who may or may not be trustworthy, they need to investigate Lundinor and all the secrets it holds. Will they be able to solve the mystery of Granny Sylvie's past before it's too late?

What a book! A great murder mystery for anyone who enjoys the genre. So many times I thought I'd guessed it, but there were so many twists and turns I was never close! A real page turner.

I finished 3 very different books yesterday, and I absolutely loved them all. Rooftoppers with my class, HP with my youngest son, and A Monster Calls as an audio book in the car. ❤️

I loved this story. It was fast paced and there were definitely twists I didn't see coming. A brilliantly magical story.

This is a proper tear-jerker. I absolutely loved the relationship between Cael and Savannah. They're both grieving for a sibling and have gone on a trip to try and help them. They just get each other and what the other one needs to begin to heal. I cried buckets but loved every page. ❤️

This has been on my to be read pile for ages and it didn't disappoint. Imagine towns and cities being able to move and destroy each other. That's what this book is about. Destruction, death, chaos, bad men and friendship. Brilliant read.

This was a really lovely story about animal friends pulling together to help each other and meeting new friends along the way. It's set during WW2 and has action and drama and a lovely ending. It's the 2nd one in a series and of you haven't read that, it's well worth a read too.

3 children are sent forwards in time to collect a piece of technology that hasn't been invented yet. Unfortunately, the children end up on the Titanic days before it sinks. They have to use some quick thinking and sneaky tactics to help them (plus a bit of time travel magic!).

It's Valentine's day on Friday - so we're giving away a Hotel Chocolat Large Dipping Adventure this evening (it'll be with you in time for the big day!) To win, simply LIKE, REPOST and make sure you're following us - the winner will be announced later today. Good luck! 🍫 ❤️ 🍀 #edusky #edchat

A great 2nd story about Cassie and her new life with magic. She is desperate to find her mum, but how far will she go? Cassie tries to stay out of trouble and follow the rules, but things just happen near her! She is joined by old friends, enemies and new family members.

It is a truly heartwarming story about a girl from Syria who wants stability and to dance. Her mum is struggling to adjust, her brother is young, and she is missing her dad. This book shows that even though times are hard, there are good people out there.

Being true to you and not trying to confirm to stereotypes will always win in the end. You might even find that along the way you help people AND make new friends. I loved this story and there were so many wonderful characters that I couldn't put it down.

Wow! What a story! So different from the musical/film but so good. It's dark in places and it's sometimes disturbing but so worth the read.

I'm not sure I'll get any more books read this year! I've read 136 books (some were audi books but they count). These are my top 8 in no particular order. They've made me laugh, cry, gasp and guess. I'm looking forward to another year of reading starting on Wednesday.

Imagine all the colour being drained from everything and then having to buy it back at huge expense. Imagine the heroes being 3 children, but no-one listens to them. That's exactly what happens in this story. I thoroughly enjoyed this story; it was dark and full of suspense.

New characters are off on an adventure, skillfully aided by a familiar face. It has all of the usual: picnics, dogs, mystery, adults doing things they shouldn't be doing and plans. A great trip down memory lane!

@redwellyfeats.bsky.social Happy Christmas. I hope you've had a lovely day. Have you opened your book yet?

What happens when a super spreader thinks that everyone needs to contract a virus but a scientist thinks she can create a vaccine that will stop people contracting it? Whole economies could be wipef out. Or, on the other hand, whole countries could reinvent themselves and their beliefs. Who's right?

This is such a powerful story of friendship, hope and trust. Worlds 100years apart can share a story and they certainly do when Semira finds a diary. Semira learns a lot about herself from this diary and it gives her the power to escape from the man who is controlling her and her mother.

My favourite children's book of the year: SAFIYYAH'S WAR by Hiba Noor Khan. Absolutely beautiful & brilliant; every school & library should have a copy.

Another action packed adventure for Bitsy and Kosh. This time they're joined by Matteo and a whole host of magical creatures. Bitsy and Kosh learn more about themselves and their family and have to learn to trust each other and their instincts. There's never a dull moment in this book.

I wasn't feeling great yesterday so snuggled up to finish these 2. They didn't disappoint. Both main characters were wonderful and I was hoping they'd come out on top (spoiler: they do!). Books about cakes and bookshops, what's not to love!

The girls at Shadowhall Academy start a ghost story telling club, but before long things get out of hand. There are spooky goings on occurring at the academy, but will teamwork set everything back to normal again? @hickesy.bsky.social Perfect for fans of spooky bedtime stories!

This is a great murder mystery for children (and adults) that's not too gory. There are twists and turns and I had no idea who committed it until just before it was solved. Fast paced and full of suspense, this was a real page turner.

Authors. What is this page for? The blank one. My class have been asking and I have no idea. It's in most of the books on our bookshelf and were stumped!

We're feeling festive today! Who wants to win this tote bag of goodies? Like this post! Give us a follow. You don't have to, but resharing is appreciated 💕 Enter by 7pm Sunday 24th November 2024. We'll pick a winner on Monday. UK only. #kidlituk

What a story! It's the kind of book that niggles at the back of your mind while you're at work and you can't wait to get home and read it. What a pair Reed and Bea are and then Helena joins them. And mum. What to say?! I think this will stay with me for a while.

I love it when a child recommends a book. A boy in my class has been reading. He isn't encouraged to read at home and this is the 1st book he's finished this year. He was buzzing! Some of the other children will read it now because they'll want to encourage him to read more! ❤️

This was a truly fantastic story and I really can't wait for the next 2 to answer all my questions (maybe not as many questions as Oswin would have!). This has everything: monsters, magic, friendships, secrets and bad choices. It was a page turner that I couldn't put down.
