But lazily undulating in the trough of the sea, and ever and anon tranquilly spouting his vapory jet, the whale looked like a portly burgher smoking his pipe of a warm afternoon.

Definitely! It's a book we'd like to get into more hands because it's such a great message. Fingers crossed we can push it further this month 🤞

Fran Moldaschl - When The Giants Passed Through @franmoldaschl.bsky.social · 2d

Witch Boy is so perfect for gentle souls this season - children who want to join in with spooky themes, but who might struggle with something a bit darker.
It's all about finding a place for yourself in a world that doesn't know how to respond to you, and how it's ok to accept help.

Cannot recommend these 3 enough.

And, legitimately, all 3 are based on real things!

-One as the author's experience as an outsider
-One about the accusations thrown at real women
-One about the real British military research into magic to battle rumoured Nazi occult powers 😅

‘The word from Manchester United insiders is that Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s headline-hogging declaration that three years is an apt timescale to judge Ruben Amorim is merely Sir Jim being Sir Jim, the self-made billionaire showing his anti-PR, maverick steak’ www.theguardian.com/football/202...

For all the co-owner’s promises of three-year spells, the head coach will not survive this season without real signs of a revival
