A box of books arrived from @lrsfalkirk.bsky.social and it contained a huge variety of fiction and non fiction, with something that appealed to everyone! We have selected a book which we can bring home for reading for pleasure.

Can you tell your adult about the book you selected? 📚

The Carnegies @carnegiemedals.bsky.social · Jun 24

📚 “One kid at a time, one school at a time” – books that explore male friendship are sparking change, tackling the rise of toxic influences like the "manosphere"

Celebrate the #Carnegies2025 winners, and how they offer boys richer, more emotional stories

www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j...

Text from The Guardian reads '‘One kid at a time’: How children’s books on male friendship could combat toxic masculinity
From Margaret McDonald’s Glasgow Boys to Nathanael Lessore’s King of Nothing, boys take centre stage in this year’s Carnegie-winning titles. Let’s hope that the male protagonists persuade more boys to pick up a book'
