Oh @EarlyTrain I made it a full 13 pages into this before the tears started ๐ข it's going to be another beautiful read, isn't it? In a "tearing out your heart and stomping on it" sort of way?

Wow @EarlyTrain, I didnโt think you could top โThe Final Yearโ but having just sobbed my way through โSix Weeksโ, I think you might have done. Going to lend it to a friend but will also be passing along a box of tissues, sheโs going to need them ๐ข

My Year 6 class have loved The Final Year and The First Year by Matt Goodfellow and have recently got stuck into poetry based around the books.
They were keen to share with you and ask if there's a third installment @EarlyTrain ? We can't wait for Six Weeks!

Read my review of Six Weeks @EarlyTrain Out 4/6/26. Utterly stunning as I expected. The story meets Alfie when he is dealing with the kind of loss no child should have to go through. And then what happens in the Six Weeks of summer the following year. 5* netgalley.co.uk/book/812087/โฆ

Once Upon A Time...
It's been a long wait since August, when I originally approached the wonderful Gemma Ranford to suggest that we work together to Go All In. We enlisted the help of the equally amazing Nicki Hitchcock and we started planning community involvement projects.

This week in 1989:
David Hirst, in a sensational Sheff Wed away kit, travels up to St Jamesโ Park and unleashes Hell with that lethal left peg.
STANCHION.
