The Bloodstone Bird
By Inbali Iserles
A quest to find an enchanted bird, from the back streets of London to a dazzling new world.
Sash hates school, with its menacing teachers and stuck-up students. His father, Max, a taxidermist, is too busy to notice. Sash longs for a life of freedom. When he finds a riddle in his father's study, his life is changed for ever as he embarks on a quest to find a mythical bird. Accompanied by school "princess" Verity, Sash travels to a faraway land. His dreams of adventure are about to come true but, as Sash and Verity discover, even paradise has a dark side.
- An intriguing and unusual fantasy.
- Set in a neo-Dickensian London of menacing classmates, taxidermy and secret rivers, "The Bloodstone Bird" tests the boundaries of possibility. An adventure story for the 21st century.
- The author's first book "The Tygrine Cat" is shortlisted for the Stockton Children's Book of the Year Award.
