THE CLOUD THIEF by @JamesENicol ‘Rain full of light and life and magic.’ Our world is one of the greatest wonder, despite our rather careless stewardship, and it is that wonder that is celebrated in James Nicol’s joyous novel. ‘The Cloud Thief’ is a book of adventure and excitement, set in a world changed by a climate crisis. It tells us that we all have a part to play in caring for our natural world, and that there is cause for hope, particularly when we see the passion and energy that younger generations bring to saving our planet. So here’s to Mara, Eban, Fidget, Caleus and Brume for the adventures yet to come (he writes hopefully). James will be joining us for this year’s @NewarkBookFest and our Young Ambassadors event, a celebration of young readers and reading at all ages. Do join us! Tickets available: newarkbookfestival.org.uk/ev…

I’m also pleased that we’ll be joined by @JamesENicol author of the critically-acclaimed Apprentice Witch series. James’s publisher’s website tell us that ‘as a child he always checked wardrobes for hidden worlds and spent hours absorbed in novels or adventuring in the wood at the bottom of the garden.’ So a lot to talk about on the 14th July! I’m currently reading (and loving) James’s latest novel, #TheCloudThief. Again, so much to chat about 😊
