pickThe first in the Stella Montgomery series, this Victorian era middle grade mystery is full of intrigue and secrets. The gothic setting, grand hotel, creepy marshland complete the abandoned village and crumbling seaside castle adds to the spookiness and suspense. And Stella is gutsy, loyal and fiercely intelligent. A really wonderful young readers mystery, perfect for curling up in front of the fire with on a cold windy night.
pickHome with a sick kidlet, and I‘m in a bit of a reading slump, so a middle grade mystery full of seaside pier magicians, spooky grey marshes and Victorian spa treatments is just the pick me up I needed.
Look, there is a little black cat named Shadow in this story. It's very smart. 😻

pickA lovely middle-grade novel with clever minimalist illustrations. This hardback edition also has a ribbon bookmark! Enjoyable and, what I particularly liked: there are some good & trustworthy adults, some characters are brave and resourceful and Stella, the title character, hugs an atlas a lot 😊😊😊. An Australian author and highly recommend (but someone who isn‘t American....what on earth do we call the “Middle Grade” genre at home?!?!).
Oops, forgot to load this #RiotGrams celebrating pictures, panels and illustration 🎨

Op shop today. The one I've pointed to is a kids book but I couldn't resist , as an object. It is hard cover , has its own book mark, lovely paper. Feels soooo good. @MrsMalaprop
pickGreat old fashioned setting with just the right touch of adventure leaves things with potential for a sequel although it's all wrapped up nicely
This book is so pretty! Kid detectives getting the job done kinda my favourite genre! 💜💜
