Join us for a wonderfully festive event with authors Kiran Millwood Hargrave, Lucy Strange and Sophie Anderson as they chat about their recently published books with Gavin Hetherington, bookseller at Waterstones Gateshead.

Kiran Millwood Hargrave’s A Secret of Birds & Bone, published October 2020, spins a richly evocative Italian adventure filled with talking crows, underground passageways and a touch of magic – set against the spellbinding beauty of Siena. Kiran’s bestselling book The Girl of Ink & Stars won the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize in 2017.

The Ghost of Gosswater is a gorgeously Gothic ghost story from the author of Our Castle by the Sea, Lucy Strange, which was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize 2020. Full of thrills, chills and a sprinkle of mystery, this is the perfect read to cosy up with during these winter nights.

Step through a magical doorway into the fairy-tale world of The Castle of Tangled Magic – a land tangled by magic, where hope is lost and a scheming wizard holds all the power. From master storyteller Sophie Anderson, author of The Girl Who Speaks Bear and the Carnegie shortlisted The House with Chicken Legs.
