William and Florence have disliked each other since the first day of Year Six. But when they find out that their dads have started seeing each other, they need to work together to split them up… Let the sabotage commence! THE DAD TRAP by @ianeagletonauthor.bsky.social is out today!

I’ve had a lovely day celebrating the release of THE DAD TRAP! I did a virtual event to thousands of kids this morning and then went to my local Waterstones to sign books! There was LOTS of coffee and cake and I treated myself to a fabulous new coat! Tonight is a takeaway and some champagne!

I’m reading The Dad Trap by @ianeagletonauthor.bsky.social which, despite not being out for a couple of weeks, I found nestled in the shelves in Waterstones on my Boxing Day bookshop visit. Thoroughly enjoying it so far.

If you're looking for Christmas presents for someone aged about 9 to about 14, my book is set in winter. It's snowing! Inside Stitchwort house we have log fires, cosy blankets, tea and hot buttered toast. There's also a mystery curse, a ghost or two, and a whole family with magical abilities 🕷️❄️🕸️❄️🕷️

Really looking forward to this one from @ianeagletonauthor.bsky.social.

Hurrah! We have it on pre-order from our lovely local book shop.
