Welcome to our first Books of the Month feature! I'm so excited to launch this, one of many exciting projects we'll be launching at Toppsta in 2018.
Each month we'll be showcasing a selection of our favourite children's books and wherever possible we'll try and have a broad range of ages but it really depends on what is publishing each month!
This month's picks are three very different books, each brilliant in their own way.
This is a magical story about an eagle huntress, an inventor and an organ made of icicles. But it is also a story about belonging, even at the very edges of our world. Abi Elphinstone is the author of the brilliant Dreamsnatcher trilogy and we are loving this brilliant new book for ages 9+
Some very lucky Toppsta reviewers were fortunate to receive early copies of this book and this is what they had to say:
"This book is quite simply magical" says Gina who read it to to Darth aged 9 & to Leia aged 6.
"Sky Song is an amazing book" says Cocopop who read it aged 10.
