@mattcoyney The general feeling at book club was that some individuals in the photo were sent to help Franklin or Red throughout the story - almost as if some force had sent them to help at key moments. Was there any real-life inspiration behind this?

@PrimaryEvans Thank you! So glad you enjoyed meeting Franklin and Red. As far as the photo… it’s open to interpretation.. but let’s hear your theory.. and then I’ll tell you what I think. 😂

Just got back from Book Club for @mattcoyney's Frank and Red. Everyone loved it and it was lovely to chat about our favourite things about it. I loved the fact that @BlindDad_Uk popped up who as a parent I obviously knew from Dog Squad on CBeebies! 😂

@mattcoyney I would love it if Marcie was one of your teachers at school however you are not in the picture...

I'm absolutely chuffed that #TheClockworkConspiracy has been shortlisted for the #FCBGCBA25 by actual young readers! Thank you to everyone who read and nominated it, you absolute wonders 😊📚🙏🕰️

@PrimarySchoolBC @prleathley @HarperCollinsCh A3. The world you have created is so huge with many possibilities, can you tell us if you are planning a sequel? A3. Where did you draw your inspiration from creating such a unique and magical world? #primaryschoolbookclub

3⃣Q3 (7:35pm): Ask the Author! #PrimarySchoolBookClub questions to @prleathley, author of #PrimarySchoolBookClub Pick, #Inkbound💀! 💬Reply below with your Qs for Philippa to answer using A3!👇 #⃣Use @prleathley & #PrimarySchoolBookClub📚! @HarperCollinsCh

@PrimarySchoolBC @prleathley @HarperCollinsCh A2b. Kids love a flawed character as it helps them to see that no one is perfect. I love the theme of fate throughout the book and this will really resonate with some children who feel they are ill-fated for whatever reason. #PrimarySchoolBookClub

2⃣Q2 (7:20pm): 🗨️ Philippa Leathley @prleathley, author of #PrimarySchoolBookClub📚 Pick #Inkbound💀 asks: a) Should children's books explore heavier themes? b): Do children respond well to a flawed main character? 👇Answer using A2: #PrimarySchoolBookClub📚 @HarperCollinsCh

@PrimarySchoolBC @prleathley @HarperCollinsCh A2a. I think that children are always aware of these so being able to explore them in a slightly more theoretical sense can create some great discussions. #PrimarySchoolBookClub

@PrimarySchoolBC @prleathley @HarperCollinsCh A1. Inkbound was a true delight to read. Beautiful word building and characters you empathise with and really root for. This book truly transported me into a wonderfully magical world and I didn't want to leave. #PrimarySchoolBookClub

@Ju1iaLund @prleathley @PrimarySchoolBC Completely transported me to another world. Told my husband he should read it to my eldest at bedtime next as I think they'd both love it too 😍

Wow wow wow! I've just finished this fabulous book, Inkbound - Meticulous Jones and the Skull Tattoo by @prleathley for next week's @PrimarySchoolBC. I have been completely transformed by this story into a magical world where finding out your fate can either be a gift or a curse.

@rebecca_cobb @PrimarySchoolBC @mariesadulak @FaberChildrens That is so cool - I wouldn't have known that otherwise 😊

@PrimaryEvans @PrimarySchoolBC @mariesadulak @FaberChildrens I was also inspired by train seat pattern design and spent ages obsessing over what the train seat pattern would be 😂 In the end I drew a pattern made from lots of tiny train wheels. #PrimarySchoolBookClub @PrimarySchoolBC
