Need some great new middle grade speculative fiction? Check out my reviews on my two new favorites! imtanner.blogspot.com/2025/11/new-... @struan-murray.bsky.social @cybilsawards.bsky.social @netgalley.bsky.social

This book is OUTSTANDING!!! Go, go now and buy it!!

I hope you're happy @struan-murray.bsky.social! My 9 year old is bereft having finished Dragonborn because the next instalment isn't out yet! He adores it and now can't choose his next book, as he thinks nothing will compare! 😂 How long until he can get his hands on part two?!

SCHOOLS! Tomorrow morning I'll be talking all about my new book DRAGONBORN in this free virtual visit, as well as showing classes how they can discover their own inner dragons. Link below, do please come along! puffinschools.co.uk/events/virtu... #schoolvisits #authorvisits #authorevents

The brilliant DragonBorn by @struan-murray.bsky.social is compelling, jawdropping and thoroughly original! This is not a dragon story of old, no taming or riding-Alex Evans our heroine does not breed dragons-she IS the dragon! @puffinbooksuk.bsky.social tomsbookcorner.wordpress.com/2025/05/26/d...

Lovely Bookpost from @foxlanebooks.bsky.social 📕 Dragonborn by @struan-murray.bsky.social 📕 Mermaids Diary by Chris Riddell Both signed copies! Check their website for lots of signed copies!

This is an absolute stunner. Top drawer fiction. Brilliant world building, great characters, fantastic plot and story and stunning twists and turns. A must read.

Dragonborn is out TODAY! Soaring off to bookshops across the country and into the hands of young readers. It is, I think, the very best book I've written, and I'm so excited to see it fly. Farewell little dragon, safe travels! X

Only 8 days until Dragonborn hits the shelves! Here are some of the lovely things that people have said about it - thanks so much to those who've taken the time to write reviews, it really really helps! 🐉

Talking about books always cheers me up so what’s one of the best books you’ve read so far this year? Some of my top reads of 2025 are: • Dragonborn by @struan-murray.bsky.social (coming out soon!) • Kala • A Court of Mist + Fury • I Who Have Never Known Men • Just for the Summer • The Nightingale

Just two weeks until Dragonborn flies into bookshops(!), so I thought I'd share a few of the lovely things that lovely authors have said about it. 🐉

I've been very busy so it's taken longer than I'd like to finish this. The first of a new series by @struan-murray.bsky.social and it is BRILLIANT! Not long to wait until it's out on 1st May. Pre-order it now!

Started reading this ages ago but then had “The Call.” Finally got back to it and WOW! “Dragonborn” by @struan-murray.bsky.social is an utterly fantastic start to a new series. Loved the hidden world next to ours. Truly epic story-telling and Struan is the master of the “what!?!” twist. Loved it!

Sometimes people ask about my creative process

Attention all lovers of sprayed edges! Waterstones are in fact doing a fancy exclusive edition of DRAGONBORN, complete with sprayed edges! Pre-order here: tinyurl.com/2jfprwev 🔥 (Also only one month until the book comes out!)

Astonishingly good, #Dragonborn by @struan-murray.bsky.social is everything I wanted it to be - fantastical, with fabulous world building and an incredible protagonist. Out 01/05, have no doubt that this will be on many readers' Best of 2025 lists @puffinbooksuk.bsky.social 🐲 #KidlitUK #UKKidlit

Even if it hadn’t arrived wrapped up like a present, I’d’ve been thrilled to receive a proof of #Dragonborn by @struan-murray.bsky.social, one of my most-anticipated reads of the year. Out 01/05, the most enormous thanks go to Katy @puffinbooksuk.bsky.social 🐲

Publishing 1/5, @struan-murray.bsky.social has done it again with Dragonborn, a stunning book that will grip you & leave you wanting more. Here's my full review: kandobonkersaboutbooks.blogspot.com/2025/03/drag... @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social

Found myself with extra free time today so I'm curling up with Dragonborn @struan-murray.bsky.social @penguinbooksusa.bsky.social

When a new book by @struan-murray.bsky.social arrives, I get VERY excited. Publishing 1/5, Dragonborn looks like it's going to be a book I won't be able to put down. Huge thanks @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social for making my day.

Well @struan-murray.bsky.social that’s some top-notch bookpost to arrive home to. Can’t wait to dive into “Dragonborn” this weekend @puffinbooksuk.bsky.social

Just creating a post for Black kids book week and taking a moment to basque in how many amazing books I own centring Black kids - of all kinds. This isn’t even half of it. If anyone has a time portal I urgently need to send all these back to 1989! If you want a recommendation let me know. #kidlit

My new MG whodunnit gets announced TOMORROW but I can give you a clue right now; one of the two characters below is dead by the end of the first chapter. #KidLit #KidLitUK

I was hooked from the very first paragraph. Orphans of the Tide is an original and compelling start to a fantasy series, written by @struan-murray.bsky.social and beautifully illustrated by Manuel Sumberac.
