I'm very grateful that @simonjamesgreen has even read my book let alone said such nice things: A beautifully rendered, tender & gentle exploration of family, brotherly love & growing up neurodivergent. A gorgeous coming-of-age novel, funny and bittersweet...I loved it very much

A fun afternoon at The Royal Society where Boy Like Me won the secondary fiction category at the ‘What Kids are Reading’ awards. Fascinating insights into what kids are actually reading too! Thanks @AccReader 😀

If you can book @simonjamesgreen for your school, guaranteed, it'll be an amazing event. Simon just oozes the wonderful world of reading, engaging his audiences. Book Simon - his books are brilliant gateways to empathy, & community.
And that was my final school author visit of the season! I managed around 70 schools this academic year. I know it feels bleak out there, and it is, in many ways, but also know there are lots of kind, empathetic young people out there who want to fight to make this world better.
