Every month Usborne treats us to some amazing brand new titles. You will see September's have a definite theme running through many of them!

PARENTS… I need to know 😂👇
What book could your child read EVERY single night without getting bored?

I'll go first… Diary if a wimpy kid is the firm favourite currently but it used to be say goodnight to the sleepy animals!

I'm pretty sure some of you could recite certain bedtime stories without even opening the book anymore 🤣📚

Hi everyone! I wanted to share a little about me the face behind the book junction 😁.
My name is Sophie, I live in Barnsley, South Yorkshire with my 11 year old son Oscar. I have been with Usborne nearly 10 years with a slight gap in the middle due to Covid (boo).
I work my Usborne business around my "day job" as a driving instructor which is why the book junction got its name.

I love books, I love seeing childrens faces when they love books or get a new book at a stall or event. I have helped schools and nurseries get free books (teachers send me a message 🙂) I've supported charity events and sometimes you can find me out and about in my beautiful book dungarees at craft and gift fayres, fetes and baby events.

I want to make my page somewhere that builds a community of like minded people, I guess you will expect books after books but Usborne and the book junction is more than that it's about learning, sharing and finding common ground.

Now I've finished ranting I'd love to hear from you, how old are your readers? What do they and you love about books?

Anyway I am off now to rock gently in a corner while I prep my son for his first day at high school! Anyone else got kids starting a new school chapter this week? Good luck! X

Welcome to September!
Anyone still coming to terms with the fact the summer holidays are over? Don't get me wrong we have had a great summer but now it's go time! My son starts high school tomorrow 😩.

So today marks the start of a new Usborne season, get used to seeing a lot more of me, activities, quizzes, maybe the odd little giveaway and definitely a lot of books!
