Wrapping a few things up before a Twitter break but first, here are some JANUARY releases I'm excited about. The Boy Who Met a Whale by @NizRite - a pacy, atmospheric adventure! Her debut was Waterstones BOTM and this one is just GLORIOUS! (1/?)

#TheValleyofLostSecrets by @WelshDragonParr- No secret what I think of this one! FUTURE CLASSIC. https://twitter.com/RashmiWriting/status/1328056169852788744?s=20

The next instalment in the brilliantly witty Dragon in the Library series by @Louiestowell & @Ortu_Ilustrador
- #TheWizardInTheWoods! (Book 1 has a STARRED review from KIRKUS!)

Uma And The Answer to Absolutely Everything by
@stubbleagent & @sarahhorne9. I adore this partnership and this sounds HILARIOUS!

Also hugely excited about AMARI AND THE NIGHT BROTHERS by @bb_alston! I've had my eye on this book since it was announced and sooooon it will be miiiiine! *evil laughter* (And that cover by #BrittanyJackson! Wow.)

#TheBoyIAm, a powerful, role-reversing, dystopian YA debut by @klkettle! Very lucky to have an early read of this one (Netgalley review incoming!) - it will really get you thinking.

Jumping through age groups again but there's also #TheHouseAtTheEdgeofMagic by @AmySparkes! A funny magical, Victorian-style adventure jam-packed with intrigue! Gorgeous cover by @BenMMantle!

Too Small Tola and Three Fine Girls by the amazing Atinuke and rising star @onichum! LOVED Book 1 - the most charming, beautiful book, and this one will be brilliant.

I Don't Like Books. Never Ever. The End. by @_EmmaPerry
& @thecreativefox is out in paperback in January! Loved by children and teachers and booksellers everywhere!

There's No Such Thing As Unicorns by rhyming wizard
@lucymayrowland and the wonderful @KatyHalford1! This looks GLORIOUS and we have been looking forward to it for AGES in my house!

Sorry but I've missed lots of course! Like the next book in the hilarious The Worst Class in the World series by
@joannanadin & @r1k1n and the next instalment in
@sophyhenn's punchy new PIZAZZ series! SO MANY AMAZING BOOKS COMING OUR WAY IN JANUARY!
