The wonderful poster for the new tour of Philip Larkin: Masterspy by @MarkGriffiths42, designed by Jake Geen with photography by Laura Kelly. Tour begins 19/09/25!
So glad to hear K enjoyed it! Say hello from me! 🚀 🔍
It makes your day when a child can't wait to tell you how much he loved a book he borrowed! 😊
K said this was a great book, which made him laugh. He loved when the Aliens got bigger and bigger! #Reading #Y3 @KidsBloomsbury @mpowerswriter #SpaceDetectives 📚🤗

Our Booknics are 1 of my favourite events for our families - that important 1:1 time to read, explore high quality texts & learn more about reading for pleasure. Such a powerful way to build a culture of reading. Today we welcomed our Y2 families and we had a brilliant turnout 📚

Huge thanks to @richardosman for this lovely plug! I was privileged to write a Dalek story for this brilliant #DoctorWho anthology.
