Brilliant and hilarious! Lots of laugh out loud moments as a frustrated child encounters the destructive powers of a very hungry mouse. Illustrations and cut outs complement the story perfectly and the surprise ending is a real delight.

Dark in places but the writing and characterisations are so good, it's tense & compelling. We are with Elias as he tries to makes sense of his psychological state as shocking truths are revealed. A thought-provoking and mesmerising read

A wonderful continuation of Astrid's story in London Overhead. The world-building and characterisation is really strong and the mystery and peril makes it an exciting page turner. Best read in series and is set for more

What a lovely, well illustrated book that says so much about how we feel when someone we love dies. It gives advice about remembering the good times and keeping the person alive in your memories. Worth adding to PSHE collections.

Lovely, mindful text paired with gloriously coloured illustrations make this ideal to share with anxious little ones. Needs to be read slowly and mindfully to achieve maximum impact. Great for bedtimes, or to calm hectic moments in the classroom.

Fascinating collection of stories showing diversity. Fact files offer contextual information useful for schools topics, and tales are a good leisure read too. Great.

A lovely lyrical story combined with stunning atmospheric illustrations which explores themes of discovering nature in all environments even built up city areas. Great for KS1 nature collections.

Beautiful vibrant illustrations support this enjoyable and charming story. I especially loved the rhyming poem at the beginning and end of the book. A great addition to picture book collections.

Really fun leisure read with plenty to ponder, that could also be used in classrooms to help spot 'fake news' and teach information literacy. Good stuff.

This boldly illustrated book may appeal to those children who like something a little different. The interactive elements will amuse some readers.

Ram-packed with relevant, interesting info, engaging page layout, illustrations and solid production. Only drawback, the text is quite small (and there's a lot of it!) but still a core all-in-one on the theme of sound. Good one for KS2

Encompasses many themes in an imaginative and thoughtful way. The text and illustrations work well together to tell the story. Not a blockbuster but worth promoting for thoughtful readers.

A dreamy, romantic whirl that not only immerses you in the heady feelings of first love, but in the sites and sounds of a hot Roman summer, that will inevitably come to an end. Gorgeous illustrations, only the cover isn't the best. Still a must-have.

Explores brilliantly the transition of friendships, schools, judgement of others and bullying. Builds to a tense, emotive conclusion and a fab moment when Bella the weightlifter saves the day! Enjoyable, relatable, a good one for boys especially

A wonderful read with a riveting plot and accomplished writing. The descriptions are mesmerising and take you deep into the ocean. Dylan's fear is palpable and his courage heartening. Perfect for fans of fantasy and adventure.
