The One That Got Away is published on 1 June and the Bookbag has nipped in with the first review: John Lloyd says that the book is "a light, summery read that firmly takes the young reader - of either gender, happily - by the hand, and thrusts them deep into a realistic and perfectly formed mystery."

I've just read two novels about life at boarding school, one set in Canada and the other in the USA: Colin McAdam's Fall, which I reviewed for the Guardian, and The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E Lockhart. Both are clever and interesting, but the Lockhart is much more fun - a wonderfully witty book which I'd highly recommend.

I've just been sent the final cover for the second Misfitz Mystery.

I've reviewed an excellent little book about the moose:

The first Grk book has just been published in French - and Grk has been re-named Gruk. You can order a copy from amazon.fr or amazon.ca.

I've reviewed MT Anderson's brilliant new book for the Guardian. The review is here:
