Had a "holy shit" moment at Waterstones Cheltenham earlier. Saw they had a Modern Classics table. It had A Kind of Spark by @ellemcnicoll.bsky.social on it. A book by a neurodivergent about neurodivergency. Described as a modern classic. That is officially Awesome.

Thank you to @ellemcnicoll.bsky.social for signing my copy of Role Model 🩵🧡

And in more #LittleRebelsAward Champion news… @ellemcnicoll.bsky.social is on the road with her new middle grade novel⬇️ (Elle has been shortlisted 3 times for the award- including this year 😍) #UKKidLit #KidLitUK

“They drafted up a list of the most uncomfortable things for a #neurodivergent student and then called them the official school values.” So excited to read #RoleModel by @ellemcnicoll.bsky.social Happy publication day! ✨

So excited to read this one. Role Model, the new MG release from @ellemcnicoll.bsky.social (the author of Keedie, one of my and my kids’ all-time favourite books). Out now.

Happy publication day to @ellemcnicoll.bsky.social‬ and her brand-new middle grade novel #RoleModel, a fierce, timely and heartfelt new novel perfect for anyone who’s ever felt misunderstood, and anyone who’s still finding their voice🧡 @knightsofbooks.bsky.social

Covering social justice issues from structural bullying through to intergenerational racism via combatting anti-refugee rhetoric (by jumping on books!) … the 2025 #LittleRebelsAward Shortlist truly has it all! #UKKidLit #KidLitUK

What. A. Bargain! 😍

99p for a short time only! Bookshops are my preference, bur if you can only read ebooks, then WISH YOU WERE HER is currently a steal!!

Nearly a million people marched against Brexit. Not front page news. 50 people gather outside a hotel. National news for weeks. "Fears of mass unrest", media says.

My class are really enjoying ‘A Kind of Spark’ by @ellemcnicoll.bsky.social It’s such an engaging story. It’s creating brilliant, safe and open conversation about neurodivergence and teaches about Scotland’s history of witch hunting. One of the best books written in years 🖤

"Are asylum seekers the biggest political issue in Britain?" Asks radio 4. "We interview man who is determined to make it the biggest issue in Britain. And make it a headline every morning until it definitely is"

Signed copies of my books available at: Waterstones Livingston Waterstones West End Edinburgh Book Shop Lighthouse Books BOOK LOVERS Blackwell's Edinburgh Toppings Edinburgh Goldenhare Books Ginger and Pickle Portobello Bookshop Role Model will be available at the EdBookFest for this weekend only

Honest and heartfelt, Role Model by @ellemcnicoll.bsky.social is essential reading for teachers, parents and young people. @edpr.bsky.social @knightsofbooks.bsky.social scopeforimagination.co.uk/2025/08/21/r...

Even in a world of Magic, neurodivergence is othered... Ramya uses her "curse" and abilities to help all from trolls, vampires, kelpies, sirens- even those that want to quiet her. #MG #TLSky #BookSky #BookRecommendation Like a Charm by @ellemcnicoll.bsky.social

This is hateful and dystopian. I was just on holiday in Kent. Nice to know how welcome queer people (esp children) are there eh? Please, Kent locals, write to your councillors and resist this grossness. #KidLitUK www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
