Recommended Read: The Dawn of Adonis by @philearle An atmospheric historical adventure which brims with tension yet is suffused with compassion and hope. It’s a gripping historical adventure about courage, friendship and doing what’s right—even when the odds are against you.

Recommended Read: The Wild Before by Piers Torday. The powerful prequel to ‘The Last Wild’ trilogy. The narrative is rich with emotion, suspense and an appreciation for the natural world. It entertains, educates and inspires young and older readers.

Recommended Reads: I Can Only Draw Worms by Will Mabbitt A brilliant picture book that turns simplicity into pure comedy. It’s silly, creative and perfect for sparking imagination in young readers. Kids will love counting worms, spotting surprises, and laughing hopelessly.

Recommended Read: Finn Jones Was Here by @simonjamesgreen Simon James Green masterfully navigates grief, guilt, friendship and resilience. Highly recommended for anyone who loves heartfelt, page-turning stories that don’t shy away from life’s big questions.
