The staff at Waterstones in Glasgow were lovely 😀

Authors write the book, and authors or publishers release the book, but it's readers who weild the power behind the book. If you love something you've read, tell everyone, give it as gifts, sing its praises high and low. This and only this is the real magic in publishing.

It’s my book birthday!!! A huge thank you to Irina for bringing Minna Mask’s to life in such a vibrant & colourful way. Thanks to all at DK Books for helping support the first in my Wonderfully Wired Stories for younger readers & their families. #KidsBooks #Neurodiversity #Inclusion

Such an honour to see that @booktrust.org.uk have selected #TheDayMySchoolExploded as their book of the day today :) This book features a foster family, an unexploded WWII bomb and a competition with a real once-in-a-lifetime prize!

Ideas for World Book Day (06.03.25): read with your child/children read to your child/children visit a bookshop visit a library talk about books if you are thinking of buying a costume, consider buying a book instead #worldbookday

This! 👇 I've just finished reading my early copy of Nate Yu's Blast from the Past. Readers are in for such a treat. Chinese history, ghosts, family, friendships. It's a delight to read. Out June 12th. Congratulations @maisiechanwrites.bsky.social on another fabulous book.

After a lovely book launch (upset a little by some casual homophobia...) my book, The Day My School Got Famous, ended up at number 4 in the overall chart of Independent bookshops! Dead chuffed.

This is very urgent. The UK government is planning to change copyright law. If you are an artist, author, musician or work in the creative industry please read this. www.chrishaughton.com/blog/ai-and-...

The brilliant new sequel @jencarney.bsky.social ‘s ‘The Day My School Got Famous’ @puffinbooksuk.bsky.social is super fun, hilarious. Builders discover an old WW2 bomb under the school car park! Ferris’s new chaotic foster bro is delighted + Aldo is Aldo (🐶💨). Jen’s comic strips are awesome! For 9+

Happening this weekend 😁👇

I have a book out today! #TheDayMySchoolGotFamous is an EXPLOSIVE illustrated comedy about the exciting discovery of an unexploded WW2 bomb under a school playground. (But it's really about kindness and family and fostering and teamwork). I'd absolutely love you to buy or borrow it soon!
