Day 8, 9+ Category: ‘The Cheat Book’ by @RamzeeRawkz @HachetteKids This hilarious book tells the story of Somalian refugee, Kamal, who discovers a Cheat Book to help him survive at school - a story about friendship and the perils of searching too hard for 'likes'. #SparkLonglist

Day 6, 9+ Category: 'Jakub’s Otter' by @RumbleCoral @TroikaBooks This enchanting story, set in the beautiful Italian countryside, invites readers into a world of warmth, and kindness. Readers will fall in love with its unforgettable characters and magical location. #SparkLonglist

On Friday, the library transformed into Camp Half Blood as pupils celebrated Percy Jackson Day! They put their knowledge to the test in a Percy Jackson quiz, made badges & camp necklaces, and even had a go at their very own Trials of Precision! @KSCLibrarian @rickriordan

Day 5, 9+ Category: 'Tidemagic' by @clareharlow @PuffinBooks In the dank riverside town of Shelwich, Ista is in search of her missing father. Here, she meets Nat and Ruby who are both struggling with their own losses. A book that positively oozes with atmosphere. #SparkLonglist

Day 4, 9+ Category: 'The Angel of Grasmere' by @tompalmerauthor @BarringtonStoke Set in the Lake District in the early 1940s, this captivating story alternates between young Tarn, and a soldier hiding out on the fells to avoid being sent back to war. #SparkLonglist

Day 3, 9+ Category: 'Rune: The Tale of a Thousand Faces' by Carlos Sanchez @FlyingEyeBooks Chased by bullies, Chiri & Dai accidentally pass through a portal to another realm - a unique & inspiring use of speech bubbles to indicate BSL used as magical spells. #SparkLonglist

Day 2, 9+ Category: Terra Electrica by @antonia_books @neemtreepress A gripping story of courage & survival set in a dystopian future. We loved Mani’s quiet strength and the combination of edge-of-your-seat adventure with her inner journey into the spirit world. #SparkLonglist
