If your child loved Roald Dahl’s The Twits (or just enjoys stories full of funny, slightly disgusting characters!), then T he Twits Next Door by Greg James and Chris Smith is a must-read. We picked this one up during a supermarket browse, and it turned out to be a brilliant choice for our bedtime reading pile .

My 8-year-old was hooked right from the first few pages and gave it a...

We’re big David Walliams fans in our house — Super Sleuth and The Beast of Buckingham Palace are among our favourites — so when it came to choosing our next bedtime read, The Midnight Gang was an easy choice.

My daughter had spotted the book in our local library and, with World Book Day just around the corner, was very keen to dress up as one of the characters (mainly because it...

Spikey and the Caterpillar Sausage Cat book review by Oscar

My son, Oscar, has been loving the Spikey book series. Here is his review of the second book in the series, Spikey and the Caterpillar Sausage Cat

Not a Survival Guide – Book Review

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.

I actually really enjoyed this book and feel like I’ve learned a lot. It’s also sparked some great conversations...

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...

Detective Sleuth by David Walliams

If you’re a fan of David Walliams, I think you will love Detective Sleuth. We’ve read plenty of his books in our house—some of my other favorites include Ice Mammoth and The Beast of Buckingham Palace —but this one might just top the list!
