Spellmaster duo, Mallory and Maggoty, are back for another hilarious and imaginative adventure for children who love spooky stories, monsters under the bed and Halloween all-year round.

The series is written by Martin Howard, with inside illustrations by Pete Williamson.

Ahhh, we love this series!! 😍

The second of The Night House Files by @dansmithauthor.bsky.social (pub. @barringtonstoke.bsky.social) is the Wintermoor Lights, where some kids start behaving strangely after seeing lights in the sky. I won't tell you what happens but what a reveal it was at the end!

St Stephen's Church in Canterbury had their Christmas Tree Festival 🎄 at the weekend, and we were delighted to take part alongside other community groups!

Our tree was of course book themed - in fact, you might be able to spot a couple of your favourite characters in the first photo 👀
