Skylarks starts off with a scene where Joni’s family are out for a special celebratory dinner.

I don't usually read a lot of Middle Grade books, unless I'm reading with my son, but this month I've read a fair few just for my own enjoyment.

I absolutely adored it and I hardly know where to start reviewing. I wasn’t blogging when Alice’s first book Ink came out. I saw a lot about it on Twitter, I bought it, and for the first...
