I am placing my final order this weekend. Here is a link to all special offers currently running on the Usborne Website. If anyone would like to add to my order, for free delivery via me, please let me know by 9pm this evening 🙂

I've loved working with Usborne but I just don't have the time to commit to the business anymore. I still adore and will recommend their books, as I still buy them for my own children. Thank you to everyone who has purchased from me ❤️

I really need to have a peek in my stock box and put a wee sale on. I'm having a clear out for a car boot sale soon, so may as well sort out the books too!

What day of the week and times are good for a sale these days? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Dive into the hilarious world of Matt Brown’s Dreary Inkling School series - where everything always seems to go awry! This 3 book set is perfect for adventurous middle grade readers.

Includes:

Book 1 - Aliens Invaded My Talent Show:

Eric Doomsday loves doing magic tricks. Even though his best friend, Vinnie Mumbles, thinks they're great, they do always seem to go a bit... wrong. When some very important School Inspectors threaten to close down Eric's school, his headmistress decides to put on a talent show.

A talent show with Eric in it. And Eric's magic tricks. Thank goodness the Earth isn't being inspected by aliens at the same time! Because magic, aliens and talent shows are sure to be a horrible mix... Aren't they?

Book 2 - Mutant Zombies Cursed My School Trip:

Ian Iansson is a little bit worried about his school trip.

Firstly, Ian doesn't have any friends, plus, his mum has packed him ten pairs of pants for the two-day trip. But as it turns out, these are the least of Ian's problems...

Because when Ian's class arrives at the spooky old house, there's something very weird going on. Something that looks awfully like zombies; groaning, dribbling zombies that no one but Ian seems to have noticed.

Book 3 - Killer Vending Machines Wrecked My Lunch:

When Dreary Inkling Primary School's headmistress buys some new vending machines, she never imagined that a freak electrical storm would turn them into killer robots... Suddenly, the vending machines are on the rampage! Can whizz-girl Drishya Samode step in to save the day - and unite the Tech-Heads and the Cool Girls at the same time?
