More than a slimy seaside surprise – the book taking out the number one spot this week is ‘an utterly fascinating look at an under-appreciated plant in its numerous guises.’ With a Little Kelp from our Friends is a charming book that gently encourages exploration and appreciation of our natural world through illustrating how seriously cool seaweed is! You can read bookseller Angela’s full review here.
Plus, there’s a new witch in town! Casting a spell over young readers and appearing in our top ten this week is the first of a new chapter book series for younger readers, Little Gem. Readings bookseller Kim Gruschow describes it as, ‘a sweet adventure with shades of Kiki’s Delivery Service’ and ‘the kind of book that is perfect for a family reading aloud and will also be a hit with newly independent readers.’ Read Kim’s full review here.
Beyond these two treasures, our kids and YA bestsellers also contain an exciting fantasy adventure set in a covert organisation, a brilliant debut coming-of-age story, a familiar dash of Bluey, a truth-telling picture book about 26 January, and the latest novel from superstar YA author Angie Thomas.
