Charming books for children out this month: GEORGE AND LENNY ARE ALWAYS TOGETHER by Jon Agee, A KILLING AT THE BOX OFFICE by Paul Westmoreland, THE MUSEUM OF LOST UMBRELLAS by Marie-Louise Fitzpatrick
GEORGE AND LENNY ARE ALWAYS TOGETHER by Jon Agee (Scallywag Press £12.99, 40pp) Jon Agee's distinctive illustrations and dry wit find perfect expression in this sensitive and funny story about two best friends – big bear George and little rabbit Lenny. They have huge fun together every day until Lenny wonders what it would be like to spend some time alone. George panics and feels rejected as Lenny enjoys some downtime reading, drawing and just being himself, until he wonders what George is up to. This gentle book explores everyone's need to sometimes take time out, whatever their age, and how best to explain it to people they love. It resolves the dilemma with utter joy and, as ever, the expressions convey a world of emotion. Age 3+ A Killing at the Box Office is available now from the Mail Bookshop A KILLING AT THE BOX OFFICE by Paul Westmoreland (Puffin £8.99, 400pp) Interactive books are a great way to draw children into stories and these three murder mysteries, in one volume, are so jam-packed with puzzles, quizzes and endless red herrings that they could keep readers guessing all holiday. Schoolboy Arlo Banks works for the British Secret Service and is sent to LA to investigate the death of a demanding film star in his hotel room. The reader plays along as Arlo, but beware – make a wrong decision (as I did) and you could end up dead or on the plane home. Luckily, you can turn back and start again. From LA to the Alps, from showbusiness to terrorism, this is rip-roaring, brain-teasing stuff. Age 8+ The Museum of Lost Umbrellas is available now from the Mail Bookshop THE MUSEUM OF LOST UMBRELLAS by Marie-Louise Fitzpatrick (Faber £7.99, 352pp) The first in a new fantasy series from award-winning Fitzpatrick, this imaginative adventure is set on an island that harbours magic, secrets and dark enemies. Orphaned Dilly arrives to live with her great aunt, but as soon as she enters her cottage strange things happen – things she has wished for. When the Museum of Lost Umbrellas reopens after years, Dilly and friend Callum find themselves at the centre of a rebellion from people who don't want it to happen. And Dilly soon learns why . . . An exciting mystery and a lesson in how beliefs can divide a community. Age 9+

Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight set to write next James Bond movie
The British screenwriter Steven Knight has reportedly been tapped to write the next James Bond movie. According to Deadline, Knight recently met the director Denis Villeneuve and landed the job after various other writers were also considered. Villeneuve is currently filming the third Dune instalment. The 65-year-old writer is best known for co-creating the long-running gameshow Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and creating the hit crime series Peaky Blinders. His other small-screen credits include Taboo, A Thousand Blows and The Veil starring Elisabeth Moss. On the big screen, Knight was written the scripts for the acclaimed dramas Eastern Promises, Dirty Pretty Things, Locke and Spencer. He also wrote and directed the sci-fi thriller Serenity starring Matthew McConaughey, which received negative reviews. The Guardian's Charles Bramesco called it 'magnificently terrible'. His upcoming credits include the Peaky Blinders movie The Immortal Man and period drama series House of Guinness for Netflix. When talking about The Immortal Man in 2023, Knight name-checked 007. 'The biggest difference between a film and TV series is the budget,' he said to the Mirror. 'When you do stuff for TV, you often have to ask people to imagine it. But with a film, you can really do it. You can blow stuff up. Will Tommy be giving James Bond a run for his money? Maybe. There are parallels. We always thought of Peaky as very cinematic, so we are finally finding a screen big enough for what we want to do.' While the role of James Bond remains up in the air, a June report claimed that Tom Holland, Harris Dickinson and Jacob Elordi were top of the wishlist. The news came just after the Dune and Arrival director Villeneuve was officially attached. 'I intend to honour the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come,' he said in a statement. 'This is a massive responsibility, but also, incredibly exciting for me and a huge honour.' The 26th Bond film will follow Daniel Craig's final outing, No Time to Die, which made over $774m at the global box office. Earlier this year, in a reported $1bn deal, Amazon MGM bought the rights to gain 'creative control' of the franchise. This week, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy mentioned the film during a Q3 earnings call. 'James Bond is in the hands of one of today's greatest film-makers,'he said. 'We cannot wait to get started on 007's next adventure.'
