A Kids' Year Series!

Tina and I are delighted to reveal the covers to books 2 and 3 in the A Kids' Year series, which is now going international! A Scottish Year and An English Year will be released in the UK (with a small run in Australia and New Zealand) this September--and next year we'll be releasing two more titles (but the destinations are hush hush!).

We have so loved working on this series. A dedicated website for A Kids' Year books will soon be up and running, so watch this space. In the meantime, for those Aussies wanting to snaffle a copy of the limited local editions, you can pre-order A Scottish Year here and An English Year here.

More on the books, below.
