Great to see Sidekicks by @dsantat included as one of @thetimes' best children's books of the year! "If time-stealing screens are the supervillains of today, then comic-style books like this are the superheroes who may save the day." https://t.co/Zb2pfEnI3k

I REALLY want the Lionesses to get through to the finals. But seeing how much passion and love Australia have had this World Cup I wouldn’t be (too) mad if the Matildas won it.
