Some fantastic news!
This year’s Children in Read auction of books for BBC’s #ChildreninNeed only opened yesterday, and it’s already raised more than £5,000!

I’m delighted to say I have two books on offer (in two different categories this year). Why not go to the link and see if you can find them? Or, better still, find lots of books you fancy and place some bids!
Well done to Paddy Heron and the team & all contributing authors for a fabulous effort as always!
