Introducing my next 🏳️🌈 YA novel, and this one is a little bit different… set in 1994 during section 28, two boys, a forbidden romance… it’s my most personal novel yet. BOY LIKE ME Cover design: @sarahbaldwyn_ Out March 2023 Pre-order: linktr.ee/simonjamesgreen
A fun afternoon at The Royal Society where Boy Like Me won the secondary fiction category at the ‘What Kids are Reading’ awards. Fascinating insights into what kids are actually reading too! Thanks @AccReader 😀

If you can book @simonjamesgreen for your school, guaranteed, it'll be an amazing event. Simon just oozes the wonderful world of reading, engaging his audiences. Book Simon - his books are brilliant gateways to empathy, & community.
And that was my final school author visit of the season! I managed around 70 schools this academic year. I know it feels bleak out there, and it is, in many ways, but also know there are lots of kind, empathetic young people out there who want to fight to make this world better.
