As July comes to a close, we just wanted to say a huge thank you to the Books Council of Wales for choosing The Killer Underpants as their English-language Book of the Month 💛

We're so grateful for their continued support, and it's been wonderful to see the book championed throughout the month.

If you haven't picked up your copy yet, there's still time! Please support one of the fantastic independent Welsh bookshops taking part in Book of the Month. Every purchase makes a difference and helps keep our brilliant local bookshops thriving.

Thank you to all the booksellers, readers, and the Books Council of Wales for making July such a special month.
