I ADORED Eve McDonnell 💫 THE LAST BOY (Sept) 💫's beautiful & unique #TheChestnutRoaster and finished with the perfect snack! Sounds, smells and sensory details burst from the pages, as we follow Piaf on a vivid, wildly imaginative, and thrilling journey through underground Paris. Highly recommended!
I want to bottle this moment! I’m so grateful to the librarians who championed #TheChestnutRoaster & nominated it for a Carnegie Medal. I can’t tell you what this means. Thank you! 🙏 Congrats, everyone - winners, all!
