Which Way to Anywhere: From the No.1 bestselling author of HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON

Product Information

The director goes bankrupt and sells half the stage set for money leaving an almost empty stage and all the scripts where lost, so no one knows what to do. Readers are dragged straight into a thrilling adventure story from the very first page with Cressida Cowell's ultra welcoming text and inviting illustrations. Author Luke Palmer introduces his new book, Play (Firefly Press) about four boys growing up together, the challenges, the friendships, and what hap.

From breakfast, alongside some of the attendees, who were talking books with each other a mile a minute, to the public event at The Sheldonian where everyone was lively and engaged – I felt I had arrived in a kind of literary heaven. The you have two sets of siblings who are at loggerheads and my favourite character by far Annipeck who was the cutest bean plus a lot of adventure which makes the reader feel that they have been on too.

Ond heb yn wybod iddyn nhw, mae’r bydoedd ffantasi y mae K2 yn tynnu eu llun yn bodoli, ac mae un ohonyn nhw’n fyd gwahanol dychrynllyd lle mae bodau dynol wedi cael eu hela i farwolaeth. It is when they need to rescue Annipeck that the real significance of K2's gifts will become apparent. When their little sister is kidnapped, siblings K2 O'Hero and his twin sister Izzabird go on a rescue mission. But in an ordinary-looking house in an ordinary-looking village, live a group of children who are about to uncover a secret.

Nothing special, they have your typical shy and quite-soon to be powerful boy with a optimistic and brave sister. Worlds with six hundred moons, burning rivers, and dark, twisty jungles alive with plants that hunt by the smell of fear.

Izzabird and Theo are fighting because they do not like their combined family, but we never find out why beyond that Izzabird thinks the Smiths are boring and Theo things the O’Hero’s are witches. The story – illustrated with Cowell’s familiar, scratchy sketches – has everything that her fans have come to expect. I came away buzzing and reassured that we still have in this century a wide ranging community fascinated not just by famous authors (I’ve rarely seen so many concentrated in one place) but by challenging ideas and questions. Wish, Xar and the parents turned out unique because they reacted to the same things wildly differently. This fits so well with the story, which is at its heart about the power of children’s creativity and imagination.

I do love me a Cressida Cowell book but I have a little confession I have had Which Mae K2, Izzabird, Theo, Mabel ac Annipeck yn cael eu sgubo i ffwrdd ar antur hudol o’u bywydau cyffredin, ac maen nhw’n gorfod achub eu rhieni a stopio’r byd rhag dod i ben. Readers are dragged straight into a thrilling adventure story from the very first page with Cressida Cowell’s ultra welcoming text and inviting illustrations.

Worlds with six hundred moons, burning rivers and dark, twisty jungles alive with plants that hunt by the smell of fear. This is the perfect balance of silly and sentimental, with scenes in the third act worthy of tissues. I had a slightly unusual childhood (I spent my summers on an uninhabited Scottish Island), but the world we all live in is full of extraordinary, wonderful idea for stories.

It is very bad for bedtimes, if you read it at bedtime like I did; you don't notice it getting later and later and you may be very tired the next morning! Theo’s convinced the O’Heros are witches; Izzabird wishes her relatives would hurry up and teach her their secret Magic. The story - illustrated with Cowell's familiar, scratchy sketches - has everything that her fans have come to expect. Will they defeat the terrible beasts and petrifying robot assassin that are determined to stop them? He can draw maps of fantastical other worlds and using this power, the siblings can look for their sister.

It instantly captures your attention, but that’s what Cressida Cowell’s writing and imagination does and this book doesn’t disappoint. Just like The Wizards of Once series, this first book in the Which Way to Anywhere series is incredibly imaginative while this time linking into normal daily life and family matters with a blended family struggling to get along.
