I’ve just started Between Sea and Sky, and I’m definitely getting good vibes. I think this is going to be another winner!
I’ve finished listening to Hold Back the Tide. This absolutely blew me away. It is incredibly atmospheric, tense and scary. The twists are utterly amazing and that ending! I’ve also finished Mystery of the Night Watchers which I really enjoyed. I’m currently writing my review. I also listened to a short story, Clockwork which is a dark fairy tale with plenty of scary, tense moments and is beautifully wound together through the different elements of the story. I can definitely see me using this with a class.
I’m hoping to read The Way to Impossible Island next which I’m really excited to get to as I loved The Wild Way Home and think this has some of the same characters. I’m going to start listening to Demelza & the Spectre Detectors as I’m hoping this will be a fun read.
What are you reading? Have you read any of these?
I was thinking the other day in work how I should read some of Pullman’s non-HDM books, maybe Clockwork would be a good start!
I’m glad you’re enjoying BSAS. I’m looking forward to The Wild Way Home too though I do not know when I’ll fit it in!

It’s a really quick read! Many years ago I went to listen to him talk about his book The Scarecrow and his Servant in our local Waterstones. I read it to one of my first classes.

Clockwork is a great book to use in school. We use it with Y6 every year and they love it.
