The Lie Tree |
It is not often that the winner of the Costa Book of the Year is a novel written for children. It has only happened twice. And this is one of those winners. Hardinge is an interesting writer who never takes the easy way. Her novels are rich in plot and characterisation and deal in complex themes. This is no exception. Not just for children, this should be read by everyone.

Unraveller |
The latest journey into the rich imagination of Frances Hardinge. Enter Raddith and the misty marsh-woods, the Wilds - the home of the spider like Little Brothers who will seek out those filled with anger or hate and bequeath them a curse. Kellen is unique – he can unravel a curse often with difficult consequences. But there is a mystery to solve, and Kellen is the one to solve it. Totally immersive – keep your wits about you.
