My earliest reading memory
The first book I read in one go was George’s Marvellous Medicine by Roald Dahl. Problematic or not, it made me howl with laughter.
My favourite book growing up
Room 13 by Robert Swindells. For one thing it’s about a year 6 class trip from Bradford, near where I’m from, but mostly it’s a surprisingly scary vampire novel. The ending is delightfully violent and features a pointy stick of rock: genius.
