@RossAuthor @GuyBassBooks @kellyyanghk Alex vs Axel by @stubbleagent - for fans of Who Let the Gods Out. Perfect if you are in need of a comedic beginning to a year. Children who have read it this year have said they loved the ridiculousness of both main characters’ situations. Would make the perfect read aloud.

@RossAuthor @GuyBassBooks Front Desk by @kellyyanghk - an eye-opening look at real events in the States (perhaps even more pertinent in recent years). Mia Yang is a relatable and inspiring protagonist who children always want to support. The sequels are equally great too.

@RossAuthor Scrap by @GuyBassBooks - with there being such a lack of brilliant sci-fi, this will be a hit with fans of Star Wars and comics. Clever names and playful links to the real world, a guaranteed success.

The Colour of Hope by @RossAuthor - a fantasy-fuelled story with some of the most descriptive language in MG fiction. So many characters for children to get their teeth into with multiple storylines that intertwine brilliantly by the end.

When Life Gives You Mangoes by Kereen Getten. A mysterious and engaging storyline with a twist that always sends a classroom into delirium. I’ve used it for 3/4 years now and it’s always one of the highest voted by the end of the year.

I see a lot of tweets this time of year that ask for Year 5 or 6 (or both) class reads towards the end of term or ahead next year. Without recommending the Y6 staples (Holes, Final Year, CYSM etc), here are some that I feel should get more exposure: 🧵.
