Summer is here and the holidays are almost upon us so I thought I’d start sharing my recommended reads for children to help keep those heads in books over the coming weeks. Banish those calls of ‘I’m bored’ and keep them entertained no matter what the weather brings with fantastic books for all ages.

I’m a big fan of Emma Carroll and so it felt only right that I kick off my summer reads with one of her books.

Letters From The Lighthouse by Emma Carroll

Emma is a children’s writer who takes moments from history and turns them into exciting adventures that are massively relatable to children today. Her stories continue to delight and move me, and Letters From The Lighthouse is another gripping historical tale.  It also happens to be the very worthy winner of the Books Are My Bag Award for Best Middle Grade Book of 2017.
