WORLD BOOK DAY: Top 5 Childhood Reads

Happy World Book Day everyone! This is such an important day for young readers, especially for those children who cannot afford to purchase many books to read. This year, the World Book Day theme is 'Share a Story' - and I've joined with a group of other UKYA book bloggers to share some of our…

BOOK REVIEW: Ghost

"Don't ever let someone call your life, your dreams, little. You hear me?" I don't mean to make a pun as this book is about running, but I raced through this book! Jason Reynolds is a fantastic author, and the voice and pacing in Ghost is excellent. You'll read it and want to support Ghost…

BOOK REVIEW: Boy Underwater

I received a copy of Boy Underwater from Harper Collins in exchange for an honest review! This was a truly wonderful book about a young boy understanding the situations around him - and proving that children can handle a lot more than adults think. Cymbeline Igloo (yes, really!) has never once been swimming. Not ever.…

BOOK REVIEW: Beyond The Odyssey

Well…Maz Evans has done it again! Just when I thought I had the feels trip of a lifetime in Simply The Quest, the third book in the series Beyond The Odyssey comes in with the strength of Zeus and punches me right in the feels. So yeah, excuse me while I just nip off to cry into the…

BOOK REVIEW: George by Alex Gino

I'm always excited to read new LGBT+ books, and soon I'll be writing a blog post of my favourite LGBT+ books that I've read. 'George' by Alex Gino will be featuring on this post; it's written for a middle grade audience too, rather than the norm of young adult. 'George' focuses on George herself, a…

BOOK REVIEW: Pax by Sara Pennypacker

If 'The Fox and the Hound' makes you cry, then 'Pax' will make you weep. This is a wonderfully written story about the bond between boy and fox, and will have you holding out hope for a happy ending. The book follows both Peter and Pax, with alternate chapters for each character. Peter has been…
