A bit late to the party on this one, but The Mask of Aribella by @annahoghton was sublime!
Such a perfect group of characters.
A story full of adventure, mystery and magic.
The messages of self-belief are fantastic for young readers.
5 ⭐️ Highly recommended.

Claire 📚 Not sure it’s creepy fae but highly recommend Anna Hoghton Orla & The Wild Hunt. The fairies aren’t creepy as such but certainly more arrogant & vengeful. Brilliant book!

Thanks so much to Sam at the wonderful Max Minerva’s Marvellous Books & More for taking me on some fantastic school visits today at E-ACT Badock's Wood Academy and Elmlea Schools Trust - I met so many awesome children and it was great to hear how many loved reading and writing 📚✨

Today we were visited by the wonderful author Anna Hoghton and it was absolutely amazing! The children learned about paths to becoming an author, Irish mythology and being a storyteller. A few children shared their hopes of being an author #badockswood @maxminervasbooks
