Stoomio 📚 Kids’ Graphic Novels, Books, Chaos!

Hi, I’m Eddy, the pencil loving, biscuit devouring human behind Stoomio. I help parents, teachers, aliens, and librarians find kids’ graphic novels and children’s books that actually get kids turning pages. No brown-nosing publishers or authors. No PR fluff. No hype cycles.

If you want kids reading for joy, not just levels, you’re in the right place.

Expect: a. Honest, insightful reviews 7. The best new kids’ graphic novels π. Guidance for educators and carers 42. Real discussion, not marketing talk ∞. Mini-adventures, Stoom Squad mischief, and a few doughnuts

@littlehux Terribly sad 😢

So the news is out. I’m really sad that another company with so much passion and hope has struggled to thrive. This is the publisher of my Vivi books and I’m still so proud of the work we did. No I don’t know any more than here, pls be compassionate to the authors x

If books came with post-credit scenes like Marvel movies… which one would you stay seated for?

Today is a landmark moment for everyone who works to ensure children have access to #schoollibraries. To be successful, the initial investment must be backed up by ongoing funding, and training and resources for library staff. Read our thoughts: bit.ly/46Jrh0S #uksla

@LornaE @tompalmerauthor Ha I definitely get more excited so you're not alone!

@stoomio @tompalmerauthor Love reading the same books as my children. Actually just returned from a book signing by a children’s author and I’m not sure how was more excited- me or my daughter!

Hey grown ups... if you start reading childrens books, you will feel at least a little better. I promise.

Tonight is a blood moon, so I thought it the perfect time to reveal the proof cover of my BRAND NEW MIDDLE-GRADE NOVEL. So... these are the advance copies that get sent out to reviewers and booksellers ahead of the actual publication in February, and it's super fun for me cos I get to do a special cover (different to the final one which we will reveal soon). Anyway, I'm so excited that The Last Wolf will be out in world, and if you would like an advance copy for review please contact @MacmillanKidsUK. In the meantime... BEWARE THE MOON. 🐺

Good luck today runners! #GNR2025 #gnr

If you could swap lives with any book character for a day, who would it be?

When I was a child, my favourite books were the ones that took me seriously as a reader; the ones that were honest, and didn’t try to soften or simplify the truth, even when they dealt with difficult things. That’s the kind of book I want to write myself. dailybulldog.com/arts/an-interv…
