A bumper episode of 1 hr 20!


Matt and Nina from Even the Trunchbull come to mine, after I guested on their podcast discussing Joan Aiken's Nightbirds on Nantucket and the lovely picture book Peggoty Po.


Matt and Nina’s book: Slaves of the Mastery by William Nicholson


Ali’s book: City of the Plague God by Sarwat Chadda


Book covers- compare Slaves of the Mastery with The Hunger Games


The cover that would have put Matt off, which reminded me of Stephen Pearson’s classic posters
