For all young readers (and young at heart older readers) a book which starts with the words, ‘The trouble with grown-ups is that they always think they’re right,’ instantly promises to deliver something extraordinary that won’t fit grownup expectations. And Abi Elphinstone delivers a fantastical story where every line sparkles with magically, beautifully written prose in a tumble of unforgettable images and irresistible characters. And if that weren’t more than enough already, she weaves heart warming wisdom throughout to give courage to everyone who has ever harboured self-doubt.
Can’t wait to read Rumblestar next, and then more, more, more, please, Abi!
