A terrible power is stirring, and it is up to Erskin to save both her family and her home. Praise for Mountainfell:"A glorious, heart-warming, magical adventure!"

" Amy Wilson, author of A Girl Called OwlPraise for Glassheart: "With echoes of Susan Cooper, this has all the feel of a classic."

Observer "Rich and atmospheric, Glassheart feels like a long-lost folktale brimming with ghostly magic." Jennifer Bell "Katharine Orton writes about history as someone who understands it, and about magic as though she could probably do it. Shatteringly good." Nick Tomlinson "Glassheart shimmers with magic and adventure... A story that left a sparkling splinter in my soul." Damaris Young Praise for Nevertell: "This is fantasy at its best." Daily Telegraph "A coming-of-age tale that's compelling, exciting and as chilling as the snow-bound landscape in which it is set." Financial Times "Readers will be captivated ...
