Two Nosy Crow books included in the 2020 Bookbuzz list!

The 2020 Bookbuzz booklist has been announced today, and we’re absolutely thrilled that two Nosy Crow books have been included on the list – Icarus Was Ridiculous, written by Pamela Butchart and illustrated by Thomas Flintham, and Little Bird Flies by Karen McCombie.

Bookbuzz is a reading programme organised by BookTrust that supports schools to encourage reading for pleasure, independent choice and develop a whole school reading culture. Participating schools give their students the opportunity to choose their own book to keep from the list of 17 titles suitable for 11 to 13-year-olds and selected by a panel of experts. The programme is aimed primarily at Year 7 and Year 8 students but can be extended to children of other ages.

It’s an honour to be chosen for this reading programme – and a wonderful opportunity to reach new readers and encourage reading for pleasure.

Featuring laugh-out-loud retellings and unusual facts, Icarus Was Ridiculous is a fantastic way to introduce young readers to tales from Ancient Greece. This is the latest instalment in the hilarious, hugely popular, and award-winning Izzy series, which began with Baby Aliens Got My Teacher. Here’s a look inside the book:

The first book in a gripping series by much-loved author, Karen McCombie, Little Bird Flies is about the upheaval and opportunity of emigration, but also a beautifully told story about a young girl with big dreams. And you can look inside the book below:
