I also liked following Rosy- it was interesting to get into the mind of one of the bad guys! Overall, The Cooling is an innovative espionage thriller centring climate action and policy to deliver a read that will have you on the edge of your seat!

Introducing my Penguin Lover badge! To earn this activity badge, your task is to research penguins (maybe a specific species or habitat) and create a poster with some of the facts you've found, along with your own penguin design (drawing, craft, textiles etc.)

Here's my postcard all about @CampYAFEST!
Postcard which says: Dear family, I’ve had such a fun time at Camp YA. It’s my first time participating but I’ve felt so welcome to this lovely bookish community. I’ve enjoyed completing tasks to earn points for my team, which is Team Trout 🐟 The events have been amazing- the quiz really tested my bookish knowledge and the author panels have been so interesting. I’m so glad that I’ve come to Camp YA and I’m already looking forward to next year’s edition! The address is: My wonderful family 5 Book Lane Bookchester BO0 KS1 The stamp is a stack of books
