When I wrote #TenRiddles in 2014, I didn't think I'd see it become a trilogy. But here it is! Cyber Ciphers is out 28 August. Thanks to everyone at @FireflyPress and Anne Glenn for the amazing book cover. #MiddleGradeFantasy #KidLit #AmWriting #BookRecommendations #FantasyBooks

In Cyber Ciphers, I wanted to explore a little bit of what’s going on in the world of AI at present, where suddenly an AI starts lionising Hitler or rewriting the truth of history in favour of one race or another. #amreading #steamforkids #stemforkids #middlegradebooks

We need to stop and think like responsible parents because as we build AI, we are creating children. One day, they will likely be looking after us. Who do we want them to be?' #thinking #philosophyforkids #middlegrade The Cyber Ciphers of Eartha Quicksmith' is out 28 August.

I’ve yet to visit a class where kids don’t delight in treasure hunting for answers to riddles. Lips move silently as they think; they chatter, ideas spilling out; or they fidget, exhilarated, as their thoughts take them to new places #MiddleGrade #KidLit #riddle #childrensbooks

As the philosopher John Locke once sagely observed, ‘the great art of learning is to understand but a little at a time.’ Treasuring old wisdom has real value, as evidence mounts about negative effects of smartphones and social media on children’s mental health. #MGlit #thinking
