I've been reviewing children's books for Literary Review for about 15 years now... and it never fails to please me how many powerful and wonderful books there are. I wish I had space to cover more. This year, I've reviewed:
The Monsters of Rookhaven by Padraig Kenny
The Midnight Guardians by Ross Montgomery
Voyage of the Sparrowhawk by Natasha Farrant
I, Ada by Julia Gray
The Midnight Swan by Catherine Fisher
The Haunting of Aveline Jones by Phil Hickes
The Great Godden by Meg Rosoff
You can read the review here, but do get the December/January issue - a bumper double one.
One other small item of news: I received the CD audioboook of How to Teach Classics to Your Dog. I always enjoy the physical versions, rather than the digital ones - somehow it makes a more satisfying experience to load the CDs into the machine. My lurcher, obviously, is already listening...
