I was just about to print a copy of the JOMB booklist to our librarian as my wishlist for our school library but you’ve reviewed so many awesome books since so I can’t wait for the next list to come out :-)
How Smudge Came is another new book for me! It sounds wonderful for taking up all sorts of social issues.
On my list it goes!

We’ve updated the JOMB booklist for you. Thanks for the nudge!
