This is a beautiful book, from the arresting cover with the owl's talons homing in on the voles beneath, to the story inside peopled with very black drawings by Simon Mendez. It is obvious that a great deal of thought has gone into the making of this book, which make it a joy to handle. The story...

Lies We Tell Ourselves
Name: Melanie Chadwick
30 September 2014;Genre: Representation & Inclusion
I found Lies We Tell Ourselves very difficult to put down. It's the first day at school and Sarah's understandably nervous. She's met at the gates by crowds of angry faces swearing, shouting and spitting at her telling her she's not wanted and she should go back to her old sch...
