Cover story
On the front of BfK this month is the cover of Yesterday by Adèle Geras. The artwork is by Carolyn Piggford. This book is one from the 'Teenage Memoirs' series published by Walker (see the article, All Their Yesterdays, in this issue) and Adèle, of course, is the subject of our Authorgraph - see centre-spread. Our thanks to Walker Books for their help in using this illustration.

Derived from the schools radio programme of the same name, this fine collection contains favourites selected from their own and others' work by Rosen, McGough, Zephaniah, Gareth Owen, Richard Edwards, Libby Houston and the Circus of Poets. The poems are wonderfully lively and wide-ranging, and at this price, in such a good production, all schools should have a copy. Not easy to slip into your pocket, but great to read through once it's opened.
