A comic tale based on Irish mythology and the Giant's Causeway from best-selling author Sally Prue. The Bloomsbury Readers series is packed with book-banded stories by award-winning authors like Geraldine McCaughrean and Patrice Lawrence and features online guided reading notes by the CLPE, ideal for getting children reading independently in Key Stage 2.
Sally Prue isn't sure where she was born, but from the
time she was adopted as a baby she was brought up in Hertfordshire,
where she still lives. When her daughters were small, Sally taught
recorder and piano whilst also writing children's fiction, and is
the winner of the Branford Boase Award and the Smarties Prize
Silver Award for her bestselling novel Cold Tom. Sally has a set of
Northumbrian bagpipes that she doesn't play very often, which is
probably a good thing!
Brendan Kearney is an illustrator specialising in children's
books and artwork. He originally studied architecture at university
before realising he didn't like rulers. Having thrown away his
ruler and tape measure, Brendan started doodling and now brings his
own chaotic style and ideas to any project.
Any list that brings together such a quality line up of authors is
going to be welcomed … Bloomsbury Readers are aimed squarely at
children in Key Stage 2 and designed to support them as they start
reading independently and while they continue to gain confidence
and understanding.
