\u00a0Congratulations to\u00a0 Susan Quinn on the publication of MY MUM from Quarto Books on February 27th.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The story celebrates the bond between mother and child and follows them as they take on life’s big and small adventures – together. From sailing a ship around the garden and exploring forests, streams and meadows, to telling stories in a cosy den and cuddling before bedtime, a child reveals all the simple yet amazing things she loves to do with her wondrously adventurous mum.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to Karen McCombie for WORLD OF WANDA, from Uclan Books, publishing on 6th February<\/span><\/p>\n

Karen McCombie\u2019s latest MG novel \u2013 \u2018World of Wanda\u2019 \u2013 was one of The
\nObserver\u2019s Children\u2019s Books of the Month for January. The story was
\npartly-inspired by her son\u2019s ADHD diagnosis, which coincided with her
\ndeveloping the dual-voice story of Wanda and Margot. ADHD very quickly and
\nnaturally became part of Wanda\u2019s character.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Twelve-year-old Wanda doesn\u2019t go to school, because she and her mum are
\ntoo busy back-packing around the world. The trouble is, Wanda is homesick for a
\nhome that doesn\u2019t exist. When she finds out a secret her mum has been keeping
\nfrom her, Wanda decides it\u2019s time to have an adventure of her very own.
\nMeanwhile, back in the UK, 14-year-old Margot isn\u2019t prepared for the shock
\nthat\u2019s about to land on her doorstep\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A little girl called\u00a0Wren<\/b>\u00a0is
\non her way home through a dark forest when she gets lost. In the forest there

\nYet through the darkness, Wren is able to notice glimmers all around her; in
\nthe leaves, the sunlight, and ultimately within herself.<\/span><\/p>\n
