Another wintry #NewIllustrationoftheDay, a minimalist snowy spread with a sense of depth by Matt Hunt from How to Find a Yeti, in which the sharp-eyed can spot the outline of a yeti louring over the distant row of grey trees. The paperback published this autumn by Nosy Crow. @nosycrow.bsky.social

I've enjoyed all of Kirsty Applebaum's previous novels but this is my favourite so far. Atmospheric and perfectly constructed with cleverly overlapping storylines. As well as having a wonderful plot, it explores bullying and peer pressure. Ideal for Y5/6. @nosycrow.bsky.social
