December, 1664. Nine-year-old Gilbert is gathered with his family to witness a comet streaking through the skies above London. Is it a sign? Or an ill-omen? And what of the mysterious round stone that falls from its tail to smash at their feet? Over the next two years, tragedies befall Gilbert and his family, culminating in September 1666 when London is set ablaze by a raging firestorm that ravages the city for days.
This story is so fast paced and exciting that I was frantic to get to the next page and discover the next exhilarating episode. You will find yourself literally racing alongside Gilbert, thrilling with each new discovery, twist and turn. Lindsay Galvin has gifted us a story seeded with great historical facts wonderfully woven together with a fascinating cast of genuinely likable heroes and hiss-worthy villains. Brilliant. 9+

I’ve had a long love affair with Spanish food, so when I saw this gorgeous new book by award-winning chef and author José Pizarro, I was pretty excited. Here, Pizarro focuses on twelve key ingredients of Spanish cooking, including tomatoes, onions, saffron, chickpeas, chorizo and lemons – all with their own unique and enticing characteristics – and creates a selection of easy and delicious recipes for each.
Luckily for us, Pizarro puts flavour front and centre in both his Spanish classics and modern creations, and you’ll find options perfect for a simple weeknight dinner, as well as recipes to combine into a festive menu for a weekend or special-occasion feast. I can’t wait to give these a try!
