In a year of many glorious stories, the book that absolutely stole my heart was The Good Thievesby Katherine Rundell. I adored the setting of long-ago New York and the wilful courageous joy of the characters, especially Vita. The way a normal morning in the city can suddenly be made magical by the arrival of a circus horse or a boy who can seemingl...
Hilary McKay writes with a wry wit, warmth and just the right amount of now-characteristic whimsy. In The Time of Green Magic, two boys and a girl find themselves in a new set-up when their parents get together. With McKay's usual insight, the book explores moving home and life in a step-family, and also touches on the love of books and reading. Re...

There have been many wonderful picture books this year. My favourite is Chris Haughton's Don't Worry Little Crab- a masterpiece of design, a riot of colour and as always, a lesson in the art of simplicity.
My best book of the year is The Boy Who Loved Everyoneby Jane Porter and Maisie Paradise Shearring. It's a story about love and its many forms that we all need to read in these strange times.
This year my 7-year-old daughter and I have really been enjoying the Bad Nana books by Sophie Henn. The latest in the series, That's Snow Business, follows the adventures of Jeanie and her very sassy grandmother as Bad Nana goes off the rails when they find themselves involved with the Winter Wonderland Variety Show. The stories are sweet and funny...
This year I have thoroughly enjoyed Jason Reynolds' track series that includes Ghost and Patina. Great engaging fiction for all ages. Read our review of Patina
I'm going for Lampie and the Children of the Seaby Annet Schaap, an exciting and magical book that is part fairytale and part adventure story. Fantastically written and beautifully illustrated with Ardizonne-esque pictures, this was a stop-up-all-night-and-read-with-a-torch book for me. Utterly wonderful!
