SOME NICE THINGS that nice PEOPLE HAVE SAID ABOUT US ‘This book is a really good mix of story, facts and activities...the text panels provide all the information about Ancient Egypt required at Key Stage 2...it might even be possible to buy a group set.’
RISING STAR!
THE HISTRONAUTS - AN EGYPTIAN ADVENTURE (page 11)
The School Librarian Journal
‘In a world of fake news, this book is an excellent primer for thinking about what’s fact based and what’s not.’

AND HERE’S ONE WE MADE EARLIER! When Blue Peter came knocking at the end of 2017 to tell us they had shortlisted one of our titles, REAL-LIFE MYSTERIES on page 16, for the Blue Peter Book Awards 2018 we couldn’t quite believe it. They only shortlist three non-fiction titles and three fiction titles. We are in the Best Book with Facts one. The shortlist was announced live on air at 6pm on 23 November 2017 but we were told a couple of weeks before. They swore us to secrecy and gave us a long list of things to provide to help with publicity. The author, Susan Martineau, didn’t even tell her adult children before it was announced! Susan and her husband came round on the 23rd and we ordered pizza and watched Blue Peter together with the illustrator, Vicky Barker, joining us from Liverpool via FaceTime. Vicky was a few seconds ahead of us because I had made a mistake when looking for the show on iPlayer. The presenters announced their names, the book title and showed a snazzy animation that had been made using the contents of the book. What a thrill! Over the coming weeks, the excitement remained as sales doubled in the build up to Christmas. Orders are still coming in as we head into 2018. The book is even part of the Summer Reading Challenge this year so do keep an eye out for it. I guess the real mystery is, if you haven’t got a copy yet, why not?
