I read and write books for children aged approx 7-12 years - the heart of publishing for children. I am also a fan of literary fiction for mature teens and young adults. Much of this isn't marketed as YA but would be of interest to that age group - so I'll be making recommendations for you to take a peek at. I'm always looking for books that support young people in facing the challenges of the real world, encouraging humour, self reflection and emotional resilience.
I only put books on my shelf that I would recommend to others. If I can't say good things about a book you won't find it here because many other readers might love what I leave on my 'unreadable' pile - I think that's the fair way to review on a site like this.
