The Mystery of the Clockwork Sparrow: Video Blog Tour

2.-How-did-London-inspire-The-Mystery-of-the-Clockwork-Sparrow-1024x576To celebrate the publication of The Mystery of the Clockwork Sparrow this week, some of my favourite children’s book bloggers took part in a Clockwork Sparrow video blog tour!

Each day of the tour featured a new video with me talking a bit about the book.

I loved all the amazing content created by the bloggers – like the Clockwork Sparrow craft project  on Playing by the Book or George Lester’s fab video review.

I thought I’d post a quick round-up of the videos and links to all the blog posts here.
