I'm speechless. The Betrayal of Thomas True is number TWO on the Sunday Times bestseller list! NUMBER TWO! To the mollies who inspired this book with their sacrifice, I can say this now without any doubt: you are not forgotten. #AlwaysTogether
Thank you @OrendaBooks

It's a privilege to be on the @CILIPSLG committee, and it has given me so many opportunities over the 3 1/2 years I've been a member. I wrote this article for @InfoProMag on some of the amazing things the committee has achieved so far. #SchoolLibraries
