What I'm Up To

Had THE cutest most inspiring time at the @woodbridgebooks Bookclub 📚 on my ACTUAL BIRTHDAY🎈last week. What a bunch of TERRIFYING smart kids - so many great questions and observations. And a birthday cake 🎂! Local bookshops (and bookshop owners) really are the BEST!

Book of the month for @scienceandnaturemagazine! Took me a while to post this one because I got distracted reading the whole magazine. 😂 I LOVE SCIENCE! 🤓

🌑☀️SOLAR ECLIPSE! Can we all just take a minute for the fact that during a 'dark moon', she's actually still UP THERE in the sky HIDING - until a magic moment like this when she PASSES IN FRONT OF THE SUN.

And we live on a ball of rock hurtling through space, orbiting a ball of burning gas, with a moon orbiting us, and we just happen to have a breathable atmosphere and fresh water and plants we can eat and and AND!! YOU KNOW?!?!

This was how I spent two hours this morning - in full wonder. I've been high as a kite since. (And also quite hungry). Now, when I blink, I see tiny crescent suns everywhere! 😬👀🤩 🌙

Thanks @jessiegrimes_clarinet for telling me about it. And for owning a draw full of broken sunglasses!

My first podcast! Had a lovely chat with @mostlybooktalk. Covered all things Wildlands, and then possibly got distracted by a few tangents and told a lot of loosely related stories.... ENJOY! 😂

Did get in a shout out to @jessiegrimes_clarinet and we'll see if my big sis @alisa_murphy appreciates how I conveyed our childhood relationship 😬

DELIGHTED to be @theweekjunior's Book of the Week. Mostly for the absolutely heart warming reaction of my nephew opening his regular weekly copy to discover my face in there. (He immediately demanded they enter the competition to win a copy, of course! 😂)

Thanks @theweekjunior and @antswilkinson

And shout out to my brilliant sis @alisa_murphy for spotting it first. (And the slightly crumpled photo - she did have flu so she's forgiven 😂)

@tomclohosycole's cover art and @sophia_watts's illustrations looking fab as always.

It's happened. 🌳Wildlands is in the Irish Times!! 🇮🇪 Now finally both my mother and my mother-in-law will believe that it's a 'real thing'! Also big thanks to my father-in-law for the excellent photos - I have included a digital screenshot as well, just in case you wanted to see it in focus, or in frame 😂 (I do enjoy his slipper cameo)

For #WorldRewildingDay @booktrust asked me to put together a list of books about rewilding for kids.
📚🌳🦫🐾🌲🦬🪶🌱🐺🐋👀

There's something for all age groups, fiction and fact. Including:
@nicolapenfoldauthor's amazing WTWTW series
@gilllewisbooks with Sky Dancer (loved it)
@lindsaylittleson The Rewilders
And LOTS from @kneppwilding's @isabella.tree

So if your kids are already passionate rewilders, or they're looking to learn more, it's a great place to start.

Happy World Rewilding Day! 🐾🪶🦫🌳

#DidYouKnow Rewilding is the large-scale restoration of nature until it can take care of itself – and us – again. It’s about restoring nature’s remarkable web of life, including habitats, natural processes and missing species.

My debut novel WILDLANDS is set 25 years in a utopian future, where nearly half of Britain has been transformed into a vast rewilding project.🌳🐾

Take this #RewildingDay quiz to see if you know your bison from your beaver! 🦬🦫❓

📚 Visit @waterstones_kids to pick up a limited edition sprayed-edges copy of Wildlands

Another lovely review from @checkemoutbooks! Thank you so much!

"Twenty-five years into the future, no humans are allowed in the Wildlands 🌳 – a vast area in Britain where wolves 🐺 , lynx 🐾 and bison 🦬 roam free. The only exception is a high-speed train line 🚆 between London and Glasgow that crosses right through the heart of the project.

Thirteen-year-old Astrid and her little sister, Indie, are onboard👭🏽when their train slows to a brief, unexpected stop … and they find themselves accidentally left behind 😮."

Out now with @puffinbooksuk 🐧
