I used to get great writing (and art) using The Astounding Broccoli Boy by @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social in Yr 4. Really engaging story which got the children’s imaginations going!

I really need to catch up with the rest of FCB’s books one day. Love his work. This sounds great.

I’m trying! I promise I am. Other folk, very cheekily, keep writing other books to distract me from my FCB completionist mission!

Haha. It’s a good problem to have isn’t it. So many books coming out in Sep/Oct I want to read.

I’m lucky enough that I’m doing the Scotsman reviews for October so I have a very giant tbr pile and poor Frank ain’t getting a look in at the moment!
