Generally, we had a wonderful Kid-Lit year in 2017 but generally, I didn’t think it was as strong as 2016. However, lots of beauties to look forward to on this list. We are continuing with our Narnia series with The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader, the fifth book in the Chronicles by C.S. Lewis, The Series Of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket with the third book in the series and the third book in The Wolves Chronicles by Anne Cassidy which we’re very much excited about. We’ve also got some old classics like Matilda by Roald Dahl and one of my favourite childhood authors, Judy Blume to look forward to and some newer authors like Tom Fletcher and Kiran Millwood Hargrave. I’m expecting great things for this year and I can hardly wait. Join us at the end of January for our first post!
I read with my son, lots of David Walliams, I think we have read most of Roald Dahl and we are currently reading A Series of Unfortunate Events…
That’s lovely, three of my favourites! What’s his favourite David Walliams and Roald Dahl?
I’m not sure ( hangs head in shame) he isn’t here at the moment, I will ask him. We both shed a tear at Gangster Granny and I loved The Twits and BFG as a child, but really enjoyed Esio Trot which I only read to my son as an adult.
Oh the BFG still holds a special place in my heart for sure! 😍
