There are some wonderful children’s books published today - and gosh it’s a tough time to have a book out, so let’s shout about them extra loudly! Here’s a thread with a few recommendations for middle grade readers

For fans of detective stories and mysteries - @sharnajackson's MIC DROP @_KnightsOf

For lovers of magical mystery and adventure - new books in some BRILLIANT series @acaseforbooks @domrosevalente @petergbell @nicki_thornton

I haven't managed to get my hands on a copy yet but @jackdraws COMIC CLASSICS: GREAT EXPECTATIONS is going to be an absolute joy @EgmontUK

Thought-provoking page-turners that you won't be able to put down @PatienceAgbabi @skinnerwrites @KirstyApplebaum

A delicious historical adventure set in Victorian Edinburgh (and featuring a young Arthur Conan Doyle) @sharongosling

Two very delightful animal books for slightly younger readers: PRIMADONNA PONY by @Pollylwh illustrated by @Sarahjscribbles, and MUSEUM KITTENS by @hollywebb illustrated by @sarahjlodge
