I cannot overstate enough how important it is to have diverse representation on our bookshelves, especially in our Children's Departments. @Knightsof & @JacarandaBooks are doing incredible work, please consider supporting them if you can #inclusiveindies https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/inclusive-indies

If you haven't come across their books yet, then let me recommend #HighRiseMystery by @sharnajackson from @_KnightsOf : an incredible urban murder-mystery, a #wcbp2020 Finalist, and perfect for any fans of @redbreastedbird and @followtheyellow. 5/5 #askabookseller

For something a little different, try #Ghost by @JasonReynolds83 from @_KnightsOf : sporty, urban, smart and troubled, & a sensitive exploration of mature themes (poverty/abuse) for 9+ readers. As fast-paced as Ghost on the track, & impossible to put down. 5/5 #Askabookseller

And for something different again, #AKindOfSpark by @BooksandChokers from @_KnightsOf : a sensitive, beautiful, Scottish! , #ActuallyAutistic story of witch trials, history, and the importance of being seen. This debut blew me away. 5/5 #AskABookseller

Side note: #AKindOfSpark officially publishes this week, and @BooksandChokers deserves to be SHOUTED ABOUT. C-19 & our bookshops being closed has changed what publication-week means for so many debut authors, but I will *still* be shouting about this one when my doors re-open.
