Loved #ElectricLife by @RachelDelahaye so was thrilled to receive #Surge - continuing Alara's story, thanks @TroikaBooks. Thrilling & tense, a dystopian page-turner, perfect for 12+ readers and on point for today's society!

Thrilled to sign and send this Turkish copy of Jakubās Otter to a child who joined a UK school in 2023, after the huge earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria. You can imagine the trauma and loss of his story. I hope that Jakubās positive embrace of the future encourages him.

Go to our blog and read about Rachel's inspiration behind the sequel to Electric Life, #ElectricLifeSurge. As you would expect, it's a melting storypot of issues such as technology, politics and community. With an electrifying conclusion. š https://t.co/RWalDMBeA5

Lovely book post today. Jakubās Otter was published on 31st October last year, so itās wonderful to receive copies this October from a Turkish publisher! If you know of a Turkish child living in the UK, who might like a copy, let me know. First come, first served. @TroikaBooks

It's here and available to order! #ElectricLifeSurge is the sequel to the award-winning #ElectricLife by @RachelDelahaye. What happens to Alara next? Does she feel at home in Under, or are the walls closing in? Sacrifices, dreams and fears, and, as always, a current of hope.

Thank you you for telling me this. Heās an amazing and inspiring character isnāt he? Respect is published by @BarringtonStoke you could have a look at Star! published by @TroikaBooks For more inspiration - this time a girl starts as a #refugee and is now a football star.
As part of our Black History Month Learning, we have been looking at the life of WW1 soldier and footballer Walter Tull. In Literacy, after answering questions about his time playing for Tottenham, we wrote a short diary based on a time he received racial abuse @MichaelamorganM

It's arrived... #ElectricLifeSurge... When Alara stops thinking about herself and sees the bigger picture, will it bring her down or make her rise? It's all power to the people in this brilliant sequel.
The sequel! #ElectricLifeSurge is here! Six months on and life in Under isn't the fun Alara hoped for, but chasing excitement is a luxury when danger is at your door. Alara must confront terrible truths about who she knows and trusts before worlds come tumbling down @TroikaBooks
