While waiting for my new book (Rory & the Balloon Bicycles) to arrive, we heard a rumour that a giant egg (perhaps even a DRAGON EGG) had washed up on the beach. 🥚🐲
We set out to investigate... and look at what hatched when we did!

Thanks @Booktrust for choosing Nate Yu’s Blast From the Past as your BOOK OF THE DAY! @piccadillypress
Our #BookOfTheDay is a wonderful story which explores questions of identity, belonging, and how history can be distorted depending on who's doing the telling.
It's the marvellous #NateYusBlastFromThePast by @MaisieWrites:

Just came across this review of Rory and the Snack Dragons that I hadn't seen before.
It says it is "a charming adventure, full of magic, twists, turns and friendship" - that's exactly what I'd hoped for.
Thanks @bookwagonuk

@MaisieWrites today is reading day, beginning with Nate Yu’s Blast from the Past.
You’ve cracked it. I’m desperate to hit schools and readers, to share what Nate, Missy and Ryan discover from Ping Ann’s dragon shell. Thank you! @piccadillypress #recommended #childrensbooks
I really enjoyed taking part in this interview...especially as it got me thinking about where in the world I would most like to write.
Children's author, Louisa MacDougall, chatted with us about her writing career and inspiration in our newest blog interview! Check it out! And you won't want to miss her fun novel, Rory and the Snack Dragons. Keep shining! ✨
