For 14 months our partners PARC ran the only disability-friendly displacement camp in Gaza. A lifeline for 68 families which was forced to close.

They were forced to close the camp. Now in a new area but have nothing, no shelter, no toilet facilities, nothing.

Last time I was at @samreadbookseller.bsky.social I bought this extraordinary novel set in Grasmere during WW2 and written during the war before the outcome was known. Haunting. I think, from your posts, that you’d enjoy it!

Thank you for this. One of my favourite bookshops too , and I didn’t know this Jane Gardam either. Love Jane Gardam 📚❤️

Great selection, thank you! Fascinated by the colour palettes used on these covers - lots of a particular tone of red and blue. My new MG historical adventure The Great Bear Breakout is out next year, so I want to make sure the cover appeals as much as these clearly do.

Your talk really resonated with me so thank you. I am regularly asked into a local school by the history dept to talk to Y7s about historical fiction - my favourite school visits. I always tell them that reading histfic will help them feel at home in a period when they meet it in the curriculum.
