A pleasure to meet students at ISCA and bring a pop-up bookshop into their school this week.
We teamed up with charity Read for Good to gift over 170 Year 8’s a £10 National Book Token to spend at the pop-up. The students chose from a range of genres, helped by us and their fantastic librarian Anna.

The project, Brilliant Bookshops, asks bookshops to nominate a school in their community and National Book Tokens supports the programme.

Thanks to the young people for their good energy, ISCA, and the team from Read for Good.

Event & book talk. Jade is in-conversation with Davina Quinlivan.

Jade Angeles Fitton moved to Devon shortly before the pandemic, then found a wide readership with her memoir Hermit, written after the breakdown of her relationship and her experience of living alone in the countryside and the connection she found.

Her latest book, When the Sky Falls, looks upwards instead, exploring humanity’s fascination with shooting stars. Blending history, folklore, science and culture, Fitton traces the influence of meteors from prehistoric times to the present day. Packed with stories and research, it reveals how these flashes of light have inspired myths and guided scientific discovery. A celebration of wonder, curiosity and the night sky.
