I can’t think of any other books with a widescreen back cover but the brilliantly silly Knight Sir Louis one does - perfect for 7 to 12 and out in the shops from August, available to preorder now. Over 300 pages of ‘sublime daftness’ (thank you, Jeremy Strong) and ‘A masterclass in silliness’ (thank you, Gary Northfield). Look closer for a Stewart Lee quote too... @brothersmcleod #funnybooks #guppybooks #knightsirlouis #laughingisgoodforyou

It deserves one more post - this ‘captivating’ book hasn’t just been the children’s Book of the Week in the Saturday Times, but also BOTW in today’s Sunday Times.... I’m so pleased for it and for Sharon Creech - Saving Winslow has come out at a difficult time for everyone but as Nicolette Jones says ‘it may be set in a small town elsewhere, but it resonates in the here and now.’ #guppybooks #savingwinslow #donkeys #unitedbybooks

Saving Winslow is Saturday Times Children’s Book of the Week! ‘Creech unfolds beautifully this simple economically told story that points to the need for children to nurture - and the healing power of animals’ 💛 #guppybooks #savingwinslow #donkeys #middlegrade

This magical novel for young readers is out in paperback in July, and I can’t wait till we can see it for real in the shops (safely). This story of magic and dragons and a wonderfully brave heroine is going to look gorgeous in paperback with plenty of shiny gold foil of course. It’s the perfect escape, ‘a whirligig of an adventure’ the Telegraph says. And the second book based in the same world will be out in October too... much to look forward to. 💛

Couldn’t have come out into the world at a worse time but this story of a boy saving the life of a miniature donkey is getting incredible reviews and has been Book of the Day with Achuka, Book Staff Pick of the Month with Lovereading and now Book Trust too. Sharing the Sharon Creech love! 💛 beautiful cover from Sarah Horne too

If any of these titles tickle your fancy, don’t forget they are all available from local bookshops, Hive, Waterstones and online. And if you can’t find them anywhere then Guppy can send out too. These are hard times but these amazing books are still here and we won’t stop publishing while there are great stories out there! #independentpublishing #keepcalmandcarryon #guppybooks #childrensfiction
