Let’s all welcome back an old … uh … young friend this month: Cedric! The young boy returns with more school and domestic life shenanigans than you can shake a stick at, with the usual supporting cast of cantankerous grandfather, I-won’t-put-up-with-your-nonsense almost-girlfriend, hapless parents and put-upon schoolmistress – among others. It’s funny, it’s light-hearted, it’s heart-warming, and it even touches on some deeper, more serious issues … but always with class. Then we have a special treat: both volumes of new two-part story Miss Endicott. In 19th century London, there is one person who cares for the poor and the downtrodden, who arbitrates their conflicts and solves their problems when the authorities couldn’t be bothered: the Conciliator. And young Prudence Endicott just inherited the job after her mother passed away. Does she have what it takes? Can she reconcile that life with her day job as a nanny? And what exactly IS going on in London these days – or more precisely, underneath it? July with Cinebook: reading for children … of all ages! | |
