Great pre-pub reviews of Puppet in USA.

Our #BookOfTheDay is a brilliant mystery set in contemporary India which explores family, parental expectations, the importance of having a voice and the value of the arts.
We love #BringingBackKayKay from @DevyaniNK:

'Bringing back Kay-Kay' by Dev Kothari is The Times children's book of the week.
Who doesn't love a good train-based mystery?
Set in India, this one tells the story of a brave girl who sets out to find her missing brother. 🛤️

If you are buying a secondhand book on Amazon and the seller is World of Books, please consider buying direct from their own website. It costs you the same, but the author gets a small royalty payment instead of nothing. And they have some great books! wob.com/en-gb/category/all?s…

Such dignity and fortitude from Richard Ratcliffe who should not need to be on hunger strike because the UK government is failing to do enough to bring his family’s unbearable suffering to an end. It is time for real action to #FreeNazanin & bring her home #Solidarity
