Delighted to share the cover of my new book, Ellora McGee, Trainee Banshee: The New School! Art by @unawoods.bsky.social, pub Gill Books, Sept 4th. Ellora's just started at a new school, and it's hard to keep her budding banshee powers secret. But what if they're about to save the day? 📚🇮🇪💫
Cover of a children's book, white and green background colours. Foreground shows an illustrated child with long dark braids wearing a grey hoodie, black and white dotted leggings, with wings on her back. In the background is a tall, wobbly, tumbledown building. Title Ellora McGee, Trainee Banshee: The New School appears above her head. Author's name Sinéad O'Hart appears beneath her feet, and beneath that again is the illustrator's name, Úna Woods.

It's #LolaAndLarchMendAMagicMess Day! Book 4 officially publishes today, and I've got my celebratory dandelion ready. Huge thanks to the team @nosycrow.bsky.social for publishing the series; to Rachel Seago, for her art, and to YOU, for readin' 'em. Grab your copy now!
A mug with a green handle, the body of which is decorated with illustrations from the Lola and Larch series. In the mug is a toy white rabbit whose face is partly obscured by a dandelion flower. Beside the rabbit in the mug is a copy of Lola and Larch Mend A Magic Mess, written by Sinéad O'Hart, illustrated by Rachel Seago, published by Nosy Crow. The book and mug are laid flat on the grass, and a dandelion stalk is sticking up between them. Photo is taken from above.

This week's #middlegrade is @krahim.bsky.social's debut #TheDoughnutClub, and what a lovely book it is! It's a tale of modern families, friends and relatives, with beautiful and well-drawn characters and a strong message. I devoured it (with suitable snacks 🍩)
