Thank you OneMorePagers! Appreciate you & love the pic 🩹 🍂 🔦.
Laughter is the Best Ending by @Maryam_Master, illustrated by Astrid Hicks is a fab middle grade mystery. With an intriguing setting in a youth camp & a cast of kooky characters, it explores themes of friendship & death with humour & heart. Full review by Georgina on our website.
