Silverborn Book Review (Morrigan Crow Series Book 4) – Ages 9+

We have been waiting for Silverborn by Jessica Townsend for an entire year.

This is book four in the Morrigan Crow / Nevermoor series — and without exaggeration, it is our favourite book series EVER.

We first picked up the original book in our school library last year and were instantly hooked. Since then, bedtime in our house has belonged to Morrigan Crow.

And now...

Tom Gates: Pesky Pets and Parties Book Review (Ages 6+)

Oscar has just finished Tom Gates: Pesky Pets and Parties by Liz Pichon — and it’s another very confident 10/10 from him.

If you’ve got a child who loves funny books, short chapters and slightly chaotic school life energy, this one absolutely delivers.

What Is Pesky Pets and Parties About?

When I asked Oscar to sum it up, he said:

“Tom Gates books are generally...

The Great Dream Robbery – Our Honest Review

We recently finished reading The Twits Next Door and loved it so much that I went searching to see if the authors had written anything else. That’s how we discovered The Great Dream Robbery — and it turned out to be a brilliant bedtime read.

I read this with my 9-year-old daughter, and we were hooked almost instantly. The idea of Maya’s dad being trapped inside a dream felt totally...

The Twits Next Door – A Funny and Twisty Child + Mum Review

If your child loved Roald Dahl’s The Twits (or just enjoys stories full of funny, slightly disgusting characters!), then T he Twits Next Door by Greg James and Chris Smith is a must-read. We picked this one up during a supermarket browse, and it turned out to be a brilliant choice for our bedtime reading pile .

My 8-year-old was hooked right from the first few pages and gave it a...

Dog Man: Twenty Thousand Fleas Under the Sea – A Kid's Review

If your child loves fast-paced stories packed with heroes, villains, funny twists, and even a dog in a police uniform, then Dog Man: Twenty Thousand Fleas Under the Sea by Dav Pilkey is one to add to your bookshelf.

My 10-year-old son read this one entirely on his own — and let’s just say, it was an instant hit in our house.

A Quick Summary

In this latest Dog Man adventure,...

The Wild Robot – Book Review

We’ve just finished reading The Wild Robot by Peter Brown and absolutely loved it. My 10-year-old and I were so hooked that we’ve already dived into the second book ( The Wild Robot Escapes )—and ordered the third one too!

What is The Wild Robot About?

The story follows a robot named Roz who finds herself shipwrecked on a remote island. She’s the only robot to survive the crash and...

The Midnight Gang by David Walliams – A Heartfelt and Hilarious Adventure

We’re big David Walliams fans in our house — Super Sleuth and The Beast of Buckingham Palace are among our favourites — so when it came to choosing our next bedtime read, The Midnight Gang was an easy choice.

My daughter had spotted the book in our local library and, with World Book Day just around the corner, was very keen to dress up as one of the characters (mainly because it...

Spikey and the Caterpillar Sausage Cat book review by Oscar

My son, Oscar, has been loving the Spikey book series. Here is his review of the second book in the series, Spikey and the Caterpillar Sausage Cat

I absolutely loved the first Spikey book, which got me hyped up for the next book — and it exceeded my expectations! This book is a great carry-on from the first, and it’s got me super hyped up for the third Spikey book.

What is the story...

Not a Survival Guide – Book Review

I’m not usually someone who enjoys reading non-fiction books, but when I was asked to review Not a Survival Guide by Nicole Howes , I was intrigued and wanted to give it a go! Mostly because the teenage years feel like they’re coming at me fast — and I want to be prepared.

I actually really enjoyed this book and feel like I’ve learned a lot. It’s also sparked some great conversations...

The Escape Room by Christopher Edge

Bedtime stories are still a really big thing in my house, and it’s getting harder and harder to consistently find great reads that my 10-year-old son and I both enjoy. We’ve devoured all of the Harry Potter books and absolutely loved the Morrigan Crow series (from Nevermoor). So, when looking for book recommendations for fans of those magical, twist-filled adventures, we stumbled across The...
