Sky Song by Abi Elphinstone
“Wow. Just wow. This book is just spectacular. I finished it late last night and that breathlessness of awe at the incredible mastery of this book is still with me. I love a good adventure in the wild, throw in a bit of magic and a cracking evil queen and I’m all over it. I have had this on my TBR pile for ages and I am only sad that I didn’t get round to it sooner. The main character goes on such a journey – physically and metaphorically and Abi Elphinstone’s ability to make you feel it with her is just incredible. Thus has swiftly gone onto my class read aloud spine and I am almost salivating at the excitement to share with my class and experience the book with them. Themes to discuss/explore with your children: working together, teamwork, bravery, loyalty, not giving in to fear. I would absolutely recommend to all!”
