The (original)
Underground Railway was set up in the Deep South of America to help black
slaves escape to the free North. What
if (I wondered) there were a similar organisation to help supernaturals
– vampires, werewolves – to stay safe until they could travel onward? So I wrote ”Full Moon”, about Nia and her family and the
strange boy lurking in Aunty Gwen’s cellar.
It won the Tir na
n-Og Award in 2012. In the second book ,
“Totally Batty” it’s Nia, not Aunty
Gwen, who invites the stranger to stay.
It’s Christmas and this particular guest, unlike Mael,
the were-boy, is not quite such a welcome guest. She’s trouble with a capital “T”! |

BOOKS |

|
Aled Pryce, the hero of “The Great Cake Bake” (Highly
Commended for the Tir na
n-Og Award 2015) is a Trier. He really wants to do well at school but
he’s dyslexic, so it’s a bit more difficult for him. The challenges life – and his teacher Miss
Anderson – throw at him are often difficult, but Aled
keeps trying. In “The Great Granny
Hunt”, Aled discovers that everyone in his class
has a Granny except him. So Aled decides to find one.
Aled soon becomes very, very busy – there
are Head Boys and Girls to elect, rugby trials for the school team and so
much more. |
