So looking forward to this. Kate Milford is one of my all time greatest writers for (young) readers.

Really looking forward to this one. Such a brilliant writer and seems to be a fine person too. Have to say I think the cover is on the dull side though.

One of the great books of the decade. And the novels in the Railhead trilogy just get better and better.

Great day. Waiting in eager anticipation for my signed copy from Goldsboro. It will then be my next read.

It is worth tracking the Tiffany Aching sequence through from Wee Free Men to its magical culmination in the Shepherd’s Crown which radiates humanity, truth and beauty in TP’s richly idiosyncratic way. These titles may have stated for younger readers, but morph into one of his finest achievements.

Padraig Kenny ‘Tin’; Christopher Edge ‘Space Oddity’. Fit reasonably close to your brief I think. Then perhaps on to ‘Pog’. Philip Reeve ‘Mortal Engines’ is unmissable if not too old.
