Candy Jar Books

🎉 Happy Release Day to The Three Lucys!

Today we're celebrating the release of the 30th book in the Lucy Wilson Mysteries series, and what a way to bring our fifteenth anniversary celebrations to a close!

Candy Jar Books turned fifteen on 4th July last year, and we've been celebrating ever since. We couldn't think of a better way to round off such a special year than with a brand new Lucy Wilson adventure.

Written by Philip Bates, The Three Lucys sees Lucy come face to face with two very different versions of herself in a thrilling adventure through time and space. Whether you're a long time Lucy Wilson reader or picking up the series for the very first time, there's something here for everyone.

Featuring a fantastic cover by Steve Beckett and distributed by Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru / Books Council of Wales, The Three Lucys is available now from all good bookshops.

A huge congratulations to Philip Bates and we hope our readers enjoy it as much as we enjoyed publishing it!

🎉 Happy Publication Day to the Anniversary Edition of The Crumble Lady by Lorraine Bowen 🎉

After the first edition sold out, and no longer in print, it felt like the perfect time to bring The Crumble Lady back for a new generation of readers.

Whether she's solving crimes, making cat food crumble, writing songs, or persuading her friends to save the town from a sherbet explosion, life is never boring when The Crumble Lady is around.

This special anniversary edition includes brand-new interactive content, with QR codes, videos, music and an audio story for readers to enjoy alongside the book.

✨This new edition is being distributed by the Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru / Books Council of Wales, making it available from today in all good bookshops ✨

Happy reading!

🚨 WARNING! 🚨

Crooks and Nannies Too has escaped into bookshops everywhere!

Despite our best efforts to stop it, this outrageously silly sequel is officially published today and available in all good bookshops, thanks to the Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru / Books Council of Wales ✨

Featuring glorious illustrations by Martin Baines, it's packed with naughtiness, nonsense and enough chaos to keep young readers thoroughly entertained.

Proceed with caution. Especially if you're a parent who prefers books about sensible children making excellent life choices.

Happy Release Day to Chris McGuire Kids' Author and Crooks and Nannies Too! 🎉
