November’s #LibraryStats are here! Dobbin’s lead in House borrowing, & even with lower borrowing figures, Year 8 maintain their position at the top of the Year Group table! Some variety in books borrowed too, with The Asparagus Bunch by Jessica Scott-Whyte proving popular.
Pals, are we ready to have the 'there is nothing out there for teen boy readers' discussion yet? Because the more I hear 'I can't find anything I like' from them during my school visits, the more I grow convinced publishing has forgotten about the post-Middle Grade boys.
A Series of Unfortunate Events will be celebrating its 25th anniversary later this year! We know children love these dark and funny stories - but what else might they enjoy? Check out #WhatToReadAfter for our ideas: booktrust.org.uk/news-and-featu…

#NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek at @RPPSlondon I’ve snapped this display again - lots of books have been loaned since Monday! @BooksandChokers @GretaThunberg @katyabalen @josierones @jamiesumner_ @OnceUponaLouise @abigailbalfe @strangelymagic @isamarinov @JSW_writer @KathyHoopmann
I'm seeing a lot of YA crossover with characters that are 17-19 years old while MG has tended to be at 12. I can't help but wonder if there's a deficit of stories for younger teens and tweens 13-16
