King of Nothing - ‘rib-achingly funny’ ‘uniquely talented’ Hot Key Books ✨📚

Ballet Besties ‘a winner for dance fanatics’ Piccadilly Press 📖✨

Delighted to see this dazzling write up for #BalletBesties by CHITRA SOUNDAR and #YasmineNaghdi : ‘This bubbly, inclusive story, filled with meticulous detail, will be a winner for dance fanatics.’ 🩰🌟🤩

I know I’m (just a tiny bit) biased but couldn’t agree more with this glowing review of Nathanael Lessore’s #KingOfNothing : ‘Rib-achingly funny, poignant, thoughtful and sly, Lessore’s second YA novel confirms him as a uniquely talented writer.’ 🌟 Hot Key Books ✨📚

So, Guardian Books says that KING OF NOTHING by Nathanael Lessore is 'Rib-achingly funny, poignant, thoughtful and sly, Lessore’s second YA novel confirms him as a uniquely talented writer.' Just saying. I concur. DA Children's Agency Hot Key Books ✨📚 Ella Whiddett

Happy pub day to the cosmic wonder that is Ash Bond and her debut Peregrine Quinn! 💫 Piccadilly Press 📖✨

Eek! What an honour to make the shortlist for this amazing book and with two of my favourite people to work with! Nathanael Lessore Ruth Bennett Thank you Branford Boase Award! 🤩

Reading this delightfully enchanting book on rec from Saida Azizova and it is so cosy and lovely and warm and witty - would totally pass on the recommendation, especially if you’re looking for a different kind of faerie fantasy 🧚‍♂️

She’s here and beautiful! Hot Key Books ✨📚

Such a joy to welcome Nathanael Lessore to our school today @uobschool and it was brilliant to hear him talk about his stunning books #SteadyForThis and #KingOfNothing and share his thoughts about the importance of reading and his top tips for writing. A great day Hot Key Books ✨📚😊📚

This read has it all - a relatable, likeable M character, an abundance of humour, squirm inducing moments, superb writing yet still parts were genuinely moving. It shows a different side to growing up in a city community.

Got home, was looking forward to a night in - put the heated blanket on the sofa to warm up while I made dinner. Come back 20 mins later and am met by what can only be described as a STENCH. Cat got sick on the blanket and it’d started to cook… Just the evening I had in mind 🙃

Range is so important so all readers have choice - one of my favourite shorter readers is Gabriel Dylan 🏄‍’s #ShiverPoint MG series for 9-12 yos- coming in at just 35k each 👻 Piccadilly Press 📖✨

They said it couldn't be done.
The said it was near-impossible.
They said I was was wasting my time.

And they were right, inventing moon glasses (the opposite of sunglasses) wasn't the most productive Saturday. #moonocle

Also I'm proud to be shortlisted for the Jhalak Prize
