I REALLY loved Michael and watching his journey to finding himself unfold over the years. The ups and downs, the laughs and tears. All written in beautiful verse with some really BOOM moments!

The Last Bear blew me away. From its gorgeous illustrations and descriptions of the snowy wilderness to the adventure of April and Bear. A story of sadness, family, love, loss and most of all, hope. My heart is filled with emotion.

Wowza. There was no messing around with this novel. Straight into the plot from chapter one and I whizzed right through the rest!! An absolute page turner which is seriously thrilling and tense!

Rhiannon is at it again! My murderous Bridget Jones is always dishing up the goods! I enjoyed this second instalment but would have liked a bit more actual action rather than so many thoughts about it. That being said, that ending sets us up for a brilliant third book!

Really, really loved this book! Alice Oseman is one of my favourite UKYA authors and this is another stunning example why. Loveless is full of love, friendship, finding yourself and emotion. I loved Georgia’s story and felt really touched to read such an intimate novel.

A fantastic, magical adventure filled with family, friendship and plenty of action. The baddies are really bad and the main characters are totally loveable!

Brilliant!! A twisty, turny thriller full of suspense! Every time I thought I had it nailed the story did a u-turn on me. A real page turner! You’ll want to grab this when it is released next month! 🔒🏡

Oh man, I absolutely LOVED this book. I devoured this in one day and feel like I was on every step of the adventure with Flick! She just happens to have become one of my new fictional favourites and I immediately preordered the sequel upon putting this down! 

Such a fast paced, adventurous book with some laughs along the way. A book for readers of all ages. After all, who wouldn’t want to step into a new world by simply putting one foot into a magical suitcase?
