Interest Age 7+ Reading Age 7
Nicola Skinner is a highly exciting and unique voice in children’s books – she first rocketed to success with her dynamic debut novel Bloom, which went on to become a Guardian Book of the Year and was longlisted for the Blue Peter and Branford Boase book awards. This darkly comic tale cleverly explores childrens’ anxieties surrounding friendships and starting at a new school, perfect for building empathy and sparking discussions.
