Paris. August. One long summer of nothing. 48 hours of everything.

Almost Nothing Happened, the ultimate deliciously funny summer read by the inimitable Meg Rosoff, publishes in paperback next week!

17-year-old Callum is facing an unfortunate truth: his summer exchange in rural France was a failure. No epic adventure, no summer fling, and his French is still rubbish. Just as he should be boarding the Eurostar home, without even a hint of a plan, Callum impulsively decides to stay.

Expect stolen oboes, at least one police chase, a curfew and the enigmatic, irresistible Lilou in this fast-paced YA caper from the multi-award-winning author of How I Live Now, The Great Godden and Friends Like These.

Almost Nothing Happened publishes in paperback on 3rd July – preorder your copy now!

The Knight Bus rolled into Beijing Book Fair this week as a pop-up bookshop! We joined forces with CNPIEC to create this incredible installation, which runs until 22nd June at the Beijing Book Fair. Now all we need is a Knight Bus to take us to Beijing to see it!

This custom-built purple magical bus perfectly recreates the look and feel of the Knight Bus, with a Jim Kay–inspired illustrated wrap and stained-glass windows.

Even more exciting: you can board the bus to browse Bloomsbury’s book offerings and marvel at some of the gorgeous artwork featured inside:
🪄 Ground Floor: Four House Zone
Step into the world of Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin—and experience each house’s unique charm via the illustrations of Levi Pinfold.
📚 Upper Floor: The Hogwarts Library
Browse magical bookshelves and vintage reading tables to discover your next favourite English-language edition in this floor inspired by the Harry Potter Wizarding Almanac.
