A wonderful 5* read for me!
My review of
The Shadows of London by Nick Jones, second in a series about a time traveller who must travel to 1960s London to prevent a killing by a crime gang.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
If not for a certain virus, I do believe that How to Mend a Broken Heart by Aussie author Rachael Johns would be keeping travel agents busy with bookings to New Orleans. Very enjoyable.5★s

Danielle Baynes has absolutely the perfect voice for Tracy Sorensen's marvellous debut novel, The Lucky Galah. Lots of nostalgia within this mystery.4.5★s

I was pleased to see Mary Anning added to the Little People BIG DREAMS series by Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara. All kids love collecting things, so they'd enjoy seeing how this little girl grew up finding fossils and becoming famous.

Knitting could be taught as a binary algorithm; knit one, pearl one or it can just be taught as practical good fun. My mum was a great mathematician without knowing it.

I couldn't agree more, Andy. I always say that a teacher's job (or any adult's job) is to keep curiosity alive and show kids where and how to find information.
I just enjoyed Trust, the third of Aussie author, journalist, and former foreign correspondent Chris Hammer's Martin Scarsden series. Sydney is at its corrupt, murderous worst.
