ALT Screenshot from The Bookseller. My big head looking wistful. 'Puffin has acquired Lights Up, the third middle-grade adventure novel by Lisette Auton – an alumnus of Penguin’s WriteNow programme – with illustrations from Valentina Toro and Gillian Eilidh O’Mara.'
Really thrilled about this - @probstomfoolery has crafted a *stunning* poem that is perfect for explaining Remembrance to children with sensitivity and grace. And brilliant to have Sharon Rentta's artwork bringing it to life!
