I’m not usually someone who enjoys reading non-fiction books, but when I was asked to review Not a Survival Guide by Nicole Howes , I was intrigued and wanted to give it a go! Mostly because the teenage years feel like they’re coming at me fast — and I want to be prepared.

The Escape Room by Christopher Edge

Bedtime stories are still a really big thing in my house, and it’s getting harder and harder to consistently find great reads that my 10-year-old son and I both enjoy. We’ve devoured all of the Harry Potter books and absolutely loved the Morrigan Crow series (from Nevermoor). So, when looking for book recommendations for fans of those magical, twist-filled adventures, we stumbled across The...

As a ten-year-old who loves hedgehogs, this book is perfect for me. I love reading at night as it calms me down and gets me ready for my sleep. I have been looking for a book to read for a long time so when I got these books delivered from the author herself, I was buzzing.
