Middle Grade books adults will enjoy! I read extracts of some of my favourite children’s books.

Tempted to try some children’s fiction but not sure where to start or whether the writing is for you? As part of my #middlegrademarch celebrations, I recommend some excellent books and read you an extract to help you decide if these might be for you!
