A modern classic for readers of THE BORROWERS - about eleven-year-old Edie Winter and her magical box of winged people that only children can see.
KATE WILKINSON started out as a children's writer for BBC Radio
creating audio stories for pre-school listeners. She then became a
radio producer for many years, working primarily on arts
programmes, literary features and readings such as Radio 4's Book
at Bedtime and Book of the Week. She completed the MA in Writing
for Young People at Bath Spa University in 2018. Kate has two
teenage boys and lives in North London with her partner who is a
news journalist.
JOE BERGER is a freelance illustrator who makes award-winning
animations, and co-writes and draws a weekly comic strip in The
Guardian. He has written and illustrated many children's books and
in 2010 was World Book Day Illustrator. He lives in Bristol.
A charming story in the tradition of The Borrowers about little
flying people, visible to only children, who live in the
Underground and are found by a rather unhappy 11 year-old girl.
*Sunday Times*
Super detail, great characters and a full-on finale with a
dastardly villain. Top fun!
*Lesley Parr, author of The Valley of Lost Secrets*
Beautifully written, this modern adventure is exciting, charming
and full of heart.
*WRD Magazine*
A fresh new tale. [...] Edie is a lovely character [...] it is
great to see a female lead driving the story on and we should never
underestimate the value of children seeing girls in this way. An
enjoyable read that teaches us that looking closer can lead to
adventures galore.
*The Great British Book Worm*
Kate Wilkinson has constructed the Flits' small world brilliantly
and it's impossible not to be enthralled by her magical story of
friendship, family and focussing on life's little things.
