CELEBRATIONS February 2024
February has been a rather gloomy month so let's brighten things up
by celebrating some good news...
Written by Elena Arevalo Melville and illustrated by Tonka Uzu
Elki does not have a home – she is a stray dog who finds kindness in the company of a little group of children. They play together during the day, but Elki must stay alone outside every night because dogs are not allowed in their block of flats. One day Elki disappears and is found injured. Who will look after her and how?
Liz Flanagan is celebrating the release of the final book in The Legends of the Sky trilogy. The Pirate's Dragon, a middle-grade novel, was published on 15th February with UCLan Publishing. Liz says, "It's been a long wait for this one and I thought we wouldn't get there - so I'm over the moon and very grateful for this."
The Pirate's Dragon is the final instalment of a trilogy
We're so pleased the book is out in the world, Liz - it sounds wonderful! If you'd like to find out more, then please check out Liz's blog.

No comments:
We love comments and really appreciate the time it takes to leave one.
Interesting and pithy reactions to a post are brilliant but we also LOVE it when people just say they've read and enjoyed.
We've made it easy to comment by losing the 'are you human?' test, which means we get a lot of spam. Fortunately, Blogger recognises these, so most, if not all, anonymous comments are deleted without reading.
