    Welcome to the latest episode of Book Quest!

    First up, Hana Tooke draws us deep into the eerie world of Skulkmoor, a dark, atmospheric adventure packed with secrets, danger, and twists you won’t see coming. It’s the kind of place where nothing is quite what it seems… and every shadow has a story.

    And Esme Higgs discusses her latest book The Pony Whisperer, a story full of heart and hope. It’s a moving tale about trust, kindness, and the powerful bond between a girl and her pony.

    That's all on this week's episode of Fun Kids Book Quest!
