It’s North Wales, 1980s and a Northern Soul nightclub at the end of the pier. I read Wonderland by Patience Agbabi in one sitting: loved the immersive feel of this YA verse novel and the voice of the main character. It’s so vividly told I felt I was there! @fireflypress.bsky.social

Lovely to receive my copy of Catherine Fisher’s The Candleman, part of @fireflypress.bsky.social’s Classics from Wales series. It was a real pleasure to write the introduction for this one! If you haven’t read it, it’s an ideal gift for young (and older!) fantasy readers! 🕯️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Books from @fireflypress.bsky.social that I’m really looking forward to reading in the coming weeks…

I loved Cathy Faulkner’s verse novel Digging For Victory so I can’t wait to read this one set after WW1 exploring the aftermath it’s had in the village it is set. It centres around the search for stained-glass window from the church, that was hid during the war. @fireflypress.bsky.social

This one of the first two in a new Firefly Classics series, a re-issuing of classic Welsh writing. I am a huge Catherine Fisher fan. Her storytelling is superb and this one I’ve yet to read is a spooky tale steeped in folklore set on the Gwent levels. @fireflypress.bsky.social

This is the second in the new Firefly Classics series for YA readers. It won the 2002 Tir na n-Og award and is about Georgie, 14yrs old, who hasn’t spoken in years. It’s raw, hopeful, uplifting story about mental health and the power of care and kindness. @fireflypress.bsky.social

I’m drawn to Entangled by Emma Rea as I do love a mystery and this one is set in carnival-filled streets of Venice. Think this is right up my street! @fireflypress.bsky.social

8. The Treasure Seekers by Cathy Faulkner Another gorgeous middle-grade verse novel, set in the aftermath of WW1, following two children from different backgrounds grappling with grief and loss and trying to restore a beloved stained glass window. Published 5th Feb @fireflypress.bsky.social

Today's review...'The Treasure Seekers' by Cathy Faulkner @fireflypress.bsky.social Out on the 5th February, this is such an enjoyable read! www.throughthebookshelf.com/reviews/the-treasure-seekers
