It’s amazing to see A Fix of Light getting its first reader reviews! It’s an incredibly special book and we can’t wait to see what the world makes of it in February!
Full review to come but I just finished A Fix of Light by @kelmenton (@LittleIslandBks) and it's just brilliantly written. A queer love story, magic, mental health, and so much hope to be found in these pages. It handles dark subjects but is so worth reading. Out Feb '25, 16+ yrs

Thank you @rurooie !!
Day 15 of the #DIKBChallenge24: share a book with a laugh-out-loud moment Dinosaur Pie by @Jenscreativity and @alanorourke (@LittleIslandBks) I mean, a story about a kid turning into a dinosaur is bound to get laughs, but this one very much nails the modern 8 yo's humour.
