SUPPORT A GREAT CAUSE!
Would you like to help raise funds for the Scottish Refugee Council? If you buy one of my specially crocheted fox keyrings from Etsy, then all money will be donated to the Scottish Refugee Council to support their work helping those who have come to Scotland in search of a safer home.
Each fox keyring comes mounted on a glossy postcard with The Fox Girl and the White Gazelle Cover on the front. These make great little ethical gifts, and if you buy the book then twenty percent of my author royalties are also donated to the Scottish Refugee Council. So head to Amazon, Waterstones, Floris Books, or one of the independent bookstores like Hive, to order your copy today and help support a great cause.
Children of the Ocean
There was something uncanny inside the locked room, something that hissed and bubbled like a restless sea before a storm broke over the waves.
When Cae and Talo’s inland farm is destroyed by raiders, and their livestock stolen, the children feel that all is lost. Their mother’s surprise revelation about a long-lost brother leads the family to the coastal settlement of Skara Brae in search of shelter.
Here, suspicions, secrets and hostility abound.
Soon, the siblings are faced with a dilemma when they discover that something has been trapped behind a forbidden door in the settlement for fifteen winters.
Should they risk their family’s new-found safety to investigate further – or should they stay silent?
This Twinkl Originals story for KS2 children is an exciting historical adventure set at Skara Brae in Orkney. If you’re looking for a book about the Neolithic age in Scotland, or a story to engage children in an imaginative historical tale, then this novel will be a perfect choice.
