Book Trust's Best Book Guide 2015

The lovely people at Book Trust have selected Witch Wars as one of their best books of 2015! To see the full list of books (there are some great ones you must check out!), click the image below. 

This is especially exciting for all of us here as the Book Trust is a very special organisation – it's the largest reading charity in the UK and has some wonderful programmes, including the Letterbox Club, which sends cool monthly book parcels to children living in care. 

For more information about their work, and how you can help, check out their website: www.booktrust.org.uk.

Guardian's Best New Children's Books

Witch Wars has been featured in the Guardian's Best New Children's Books supplement! It's published as part of Independent Bookshop Week (20-27 June) and features a great list of not-to-be-missed independent bookshops.

Witch Wars was selected by the fabulous Katie from specialist children's bookshop Storytellers Inc. Click the review below to be whisked away to their website!

Reader letters: Meet Polka-Dot!

The very talented Imogen sent a lovely letter with this fabulous creation: Polka-Dot the fairy! 

We liked Imogen's fairy character so much we've decorated one of the caravans in the Fairy Caravan Park in her honour. It's quite difficult to spot... 

Thanks, Imogen!
