  • Frozen Time and Runaway Thoughts⏳🧠
    Mar 18 2026

    In this episode, we dive into two brilliant stories packed with imagination, chaos, and big “what if” questions. First, The Night I Borrowed Time by Iqbal Hussain follows a boy who discovers he can freeze time. It sounds like the perfect way to fix mistakes—but he soon learns that playing with time has consequences he never expected.

    Then, we meet The Overthinkers Club by Nat Luurtsema, where a group of kids with wildly active imaginations turn everyday school life into a whirlwind of hilarious overthinking, awkward moments, and unexpected adventures.

  • A Heart Warming Refugee Story, Wartime Secrets and Unicorn Magic🦄✨
    Mar 11 2026

    This week, we’re diving into three brilliant books packed with heart, mystery and magic.

    First, The Boy at the Back of the Class by Onjali Rauf tells the story of a group of classmates who notice the new boy is quiet, lonely and far from home — and decide to come up with a plan to help him.

    Then, The Blitz Sisters by Judith Eagle takes us to wartime London for a gripping mystery, as two sisters uncover secrets, face danger and navigate the chaos of the Blitz.

    And in Skandar and the Secret Element by A. F. Steadman, Skandar is pulled even deeper into a thrilling world of elemental magic and fierce unicorns, where powerful new abilities bring even bigger challenges.
