And whilst we're on the subject of books of the month, then you MUST check out @WelshDragonParr debut The Valley of Lost Secrets, it's all anyone is talking about. Though their shops are shut you can still order this from @Waterstones website/app or try your local bookshop.
The talented @lisa_letters book First Day of My Life was the Sunday Times Children's Book of the week, and is on my shopping list. It's a tale of friendship and first love, and with Lisa telling the story, it will be special.
You all know I love trains, and @petergbell magical postal express is a delightful invention. Why not join Suzy as she jumps aboard to find out why a mysterious talking book is stealing words and causing chaos across the whole of the Impossible Places!
Riddle me this... How does @lthompsonwrites write gem after gem? The Graveyard Riddle returns us to characters we loved from The Goldfish Boy, Matthew, Jack & Melody, who discover a derelict house & a mysterious boy hiding inside... Ooo I'm getting chills. This is going to be fab
Grab Front Desk by @kellyyanghk & published by @_KnightsOf It's already scooped multiple awards and is an engrossing slice of life exploring the prejudice experienced by feisty 10-year-old protagonist Mia Tang who works on the front desk at a motel
Darwin's Dragons by @LindsayGalvin is described as How to Train Your Dragon meets Robinson Crusoe. It follows Syms, a cabin boy aboard the Beagle, the ship that took Darwin to the Galapagos Islands. It looks brilliant & deserves support as it's an ill-fated book delayed from 2020
Whilst we're on the subject of dragons, I know there are thousands of children out there waiting to read the 5th & final book in this charming series: The Boy Who Sang with Dragons from wonderful @andyjshepherd Well, it's out today, so what are you waiting for #choosebookshops

That wonder, @philearle has gone & written a book with his best mate @michaelwagg called EDGAR & ADOLF for @BarringtonStoke it's about friendship & football in a time of war. I've personal experience of writing with a friend, it tends to produce really special books. Check it out
You want a brilliant eco-adventure for younger readers? Look no further than the marvellous @gill__lewis new book Willow Wildthing and the Shooting star from @OxfordChildrens
We all need a bit more Pizazz in our lives, luckily @sophyhenn has created another super story about Pizazz and the New Kid. Get a bit of zing in your head and find out if there's room for two supers in school.
You all know I'm reading this right now because I've tweeted it already, but @laurenstjohn needs to be on this thread because she KNOWS how to write a proper adventure and KAT WOLFE ON THIN ICE will be no exception.
Do you love dragons? Do you love detective stories? Well, how about a combination of the two from the quirky, dark, and humourous author the spectacular @jonesgarethp Sounds good doesn't it?
This Wonderful Thing by @AdamBaron5 is @toppsta book of the month and sounds intriguing. It's a moving and hilarious story about friendships, secrets & life-changing hidden treasure… BRILLIANT!

Morgana Mage is a witch who loves robots... already I am loving this premise. MORGANA MAGE IN THE ROBOTIC AGE is by debut author @AmyLouiseBond & it's a tough time for a 1st book to be born. Why not buy it as a wild card read because it sounds fabulous!
We can be in no doubt that this world needs changing. The wonderfully helpful @RashmiWriting has created a brilliant book about teamwork with @annabeltempest to help us do just that. An essential book for all school libraries as well as homeschools.
NO! I'm not done yet, because the imagination of the talented @kmlarwood has given us something wonderous and I think you deserve it. Today the fabled UKI AND THE SWAMP SPIRIT materialises in the world, the 5th Podkin book and a MUST HAVE!
We all need a good belly laugh right now, something to shake those cares away and @joannanadin wants to tell you how the WORST CLASS IN THE WORLD GETS WORSE! I'd put money on this being the best fun to read out loud.
That @philearle is showing off! TWO BOOKS! He has 2 books out today! I'd be jealous but (looks around at world) his timing sucks! Look at the cover of ALBERT JOHNSON AND THE BUNS OF STEEL by @stevemaythe1st It's fab! This will be a joyous romp of a book, I'm certain.
