Writing my dedication for The Dad Trap was one of the hardest I’ve written. I hope I’ve done everyone proud.

This is an action-packed cosy, festive, heartwarming hug of a book. It deftly and tenderly navigates themes of loss and grief while also ensuring maximum magic and excitement!

Beautiful, eye-catching illustrations add to its charm!

-Gifted copy with no requirement to review

I will be running something called MIDDLE-GRADE MONDAYS over on Instagram. I’ll be inviting a middle grade author to come onto a live chat with me so we can talk about their books!

I’m very excited to announce that the first author will be the amazing SF Said on 3/11 at 12.45!

Absolutely loved this fizzy, fun queer YA romance by @calummcswiggan.bsky.social! It sparkles with joy while also sensitively exploring a range of complex and difficult topics! Teenage me would have loved to have read this. Stunning!
