I'm delighted to share the news that my new book The Ice Children is published in the UK on 2nd November in hardback featuring artwork by Penny Neville-Lee. It is available to pre-order now!
Exclusive editions are available from Waterstones and certain indie bookshops in the UK. Or order a standard copy from @bookshop_org_uk to support your local indie.
❄️ ‘As unforgettable as Hans Christian Andersen's 'The Snow Queen' . . . a whirlingly imaginative storyline full of wonder and hope as well as warning.’ – The Times ❄️
At the stroke of midnight on the dawn of December, five-year-old Finn Albedo is found frozen in the city park standing on a pedestal of ice. His heart is beating, he is smiling serenely, but no one can wake him.
Finn’s big sister, Bianca, suspects that the beautiful sparkling book Finn got from the library has something to do with it, but the book has vanished. Does the tall mysterious stranger who first discovered Finn know more than they will admit?
Each day, more children are found frozen and Bianca realizes she’s running out of time. Her quest to discover the truth and rescue her little brother hurls her into a fantastical winter wonderland, full of beauty and danger, where all is not as it seems.
Can Bianca save her brother and the other Ice Children before they are forever lost?

Make No Small Plans⁠ ⁠ Rough Stuff Cycling in the Alps is the original guide to adventuring by bike in the Alps, reprinted with stunning vintage photography.⁠ ⁠ Compiled by Fred Wright from years adventuring on the gravel roads, dirt tracks and footpaths of the #Alps, and the accounts of other pioneers of 'rough stuff' riding. #Gravelbiking before #gravelbikes – even #mountain #biking before #mountainbikes in some cases.⁠ ⁠ Originally published in a very limited edition in 2002 and now impossible to find, this reprint comes with a new design and layout, beautiful finishing, maps and two extended colour photo sections of Fred's pictures.⁠ ⁠ More than 300 routes ranging from easy tracks at barely 1,000m to steep footpaths and #glacier crossings at over 3,000m. An invaluable practical guide and #inspiration for gravel adventures, from the Swiss and French Alps to the Italian #Dolomites and Austrian #Tirol.⁠ ⁠ Previously featured on our Tour of France @bookshop_org_uk list, we now have copies in the shop and online. Pick up a copy today?⁠ ⁠ @rsfarchive @isolapress https://instagr.am/p/CTKnfLHMYBq/

Our new #bookshop list made the homepage! Intended as a tour of gallic literature. Some new French #fictionintranslation, some #nonfiction set in #France, some #cycling, and yes, some #Astérix! Scroll down a bit on the @bookshop_org_uk front page, or check the link in bio for the full list. Might play with it over July, especially as a few titles are very limited and might drop out off stock https://instagr.am/p/CQ5ZW-as4XK/

We all need to feel valued and loved. Our appearance often impacts how we feel, which is why it is even more important to see yourself in books.📚 https://cancercareparcel.co.uk/cancershop/product/love-my-hair/ #cancerawareness #cancer #cancercare #childrenwithcancer #childrenwithcanceruk #childrensbookillustration #goodreads #booksfortopics #black_in_business_uk #childrensblackhistory #mumsofinstagram #afroribooks #black_in_busness_uk #competitioninstagram  #bookworm #childrensreading #happy #onlinebookclub #afroibooks #booksfordiversity #booksforkids #schoollibraries #eyfs #equality #phillip #lockdown #familytime #childrensbookshoplondon #bookshop_org_uk #booksfordiversity #booktrust (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLb9_uqD2pa/?igshid=1tg87qj3ceepo

Published today, @bernardineevaristo has worked with @penguinukbooks in selecting six lost and hard-to-find books by #Blackwriters to start a new series, Black Britain: Writing Back. The Booker Prize winner has also written the introductions for the first six titles, which are rediscovered works about Black Britain and the diaspora that were written over the past 100 years depicting black Britain that remap the nation. The intention of the series presents a body of work that illustrates a variety of preoccupations and genres that offer important and diverse Black British perspectives. The first books to be published are The Fat Lady Sings by Jacqueline Roy; Incomparable World by S.I. Martin; Minty Alley by C.L.R. James; Without Prejudice by Nicola Williams; Bernard and the Cloth Monkey by Judith Bryan and The Dancing Face by Mike Phillips. Find them all at our @bookshop_org_uk shop or in the link in bio #blackhistory #blackbritain #blackwriters #blackwritersofinstagram #bookseries #penguinbooks #bookshop #offtheshelf #sheffield https://instagr.am/p/CK3QvxJHUa8/

This is an interesting 🤔quote isn't it. We need to be focused on where we are going. Do you remember Aesops Fable about the Hare and the Tortoise? I was partly inspired to write my 1st book because of a family member who is dyslexic. Seeing the confidence and boldness of them being able to read a book that rhymes with such a lovely smile on their face send sense of achievement is awesome. #childrenshistory #childrensbooks #disabilityawearness #dyslexiaawareness #dyslexia #dyslexic #dyslexicchildren #dyslexicadvantage #childminders #SEND #specialeducationalneeds #diversity #earlyyearsteacher #nurserynurse #nurseryactivities #childrensauthors  #specialeducationteacher #blackheathlondon #black_in_busness_uk #rye_books #childrensreading #onlinebookclub #afroibooks #booksfordiversity #schoollibraries  #equality #littlewarriorbooks #childrensbookshoplondon #bookshop_org_uk #booksfordiversity #pagesofhackney (at Bromley, Bromley, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ3RlNmLpVW/?igshid=uzjlem41nch6
