I have a copy of Issa Watanabe’s superb thought-provoking Migrants by @geckopress to give away. If you’d like the chance to nab it please reply by Saturday 29th at 8pm and I’ll pick a name out of the flat cap. No need for RT or follow shenanigans. 😄#ReadingRocks #PictureBooks https://t.co/0jdb8SOJJp

Juniper Mae: Knight of Tykotech City
Sarah Soh
Thought this was terrific! Juniper Mae: Knight of Tykotech City by Sarah Soh @FlyingEyeBooks is fantastically futuristic, full of invention and great fun as you follow our adventurous heroine. The first of a cracking series I’m sure. Perfect for Y3/4. Or y49/50 in my case. https://t.co/tLgKO0KbOy

Cress Watercress
Gregory Maguire
Enjoying getting lost in #Book8 of the holiday - Cress Watercress by Gregory Maguire. Have to say that @dc_litchfield has played an absolute blinder with his absolutely stunning illustrations throughout. Every time the page turns you’re met with his brilliance. #LegendofLight https://t.co/wCvqBLSLpt

Journey
Eric Overby
Fan of wordless picture books? Linde Faas Come With Me is a wonderfully imaginative addition. Reminded of Janssen’s Island and Becker’s Journey which is no bad thing. A really lovely story of two children going on a creative journey over land and sea. KS1 writing inspiration. https://t.co/9DuKL8rDa4

Leeva at Last
Sara Pennypacker
What an absolute treasure of a book this is. Leeva at Last by the incredible Sara Pennypacker (illustrated by Matthew Cornell) intrigues you immediately and never let’s you go. Love the journey Sara’s words take you on and what a character we have in Leeva. https://t.co/5eGUC6tacN
