Reihe: The World of Podkin One-Ear

From the winner of the Blue Peter Best Story Book Award, the third instalment of Podkin's epic battle against the Gorm. 'A spellbinding story full of friendship, excitement and magic.' Guardian The bard looks up at the three figures . . . Yes,' says the bard. 'They're bonedancers. You don't need to sound quite so excited, though. They have come to kill me.' And so it is that the bard and and his young apprentice Rue are taken to Spinestone, the temple warren of the bonedancers. It is here that the bard is ordered to retell the tale that has got him in so much trouble . . . and so to the next instalment in the astonishing tale of Podkin One-Ear . . . Podkin, Paz and Pook once again find their home under threat, but this time they are ready to fight! Podkin and the others leave for Sparrowfast to ask their uncle for the use of his magic bow. It's the one weapon that could save them all. But as they flee into the forest depths, it seems they have been betrayed . . . 'Kieran Larwood's talent and his passion for his wonderful characters leap off every page.' David Long, author of Survivors Kids love Podkin: 'One of the best books I have ever read.' Cally, age 10, Lovereading4kids 'Like 'The Lord of the Rings' and 'Watership Down' mixed together.' Sam, age 11, Lovereading4kids 'An adventure that keeps you wanting to read on and on into the night.' Alex, age 10, Lovereading4kids

Kieran Larwood was born in Kenya. He moved to the UK when he was two and lived in various places before settling on the Isle of Wight, where he can still be found: exploring rockpools, climbing trees and writing or drawing! He has done a wide range of jobs, including being an archery instructor and working the night shift in a cake factory (which was nowhere near as much fun as it sounds). He taught in a primary school for fifteen years before becoming a full-time author (and sometimes illustrator) of a series of novels that link across the Five Realms of Lanica. Kieran has won the Blue Peter Best Story and the Prix Sorcières. He is inspired by a life-long love of fantasy stories, which all began when - as a young boy - he picked up a copy of The Hobbit and saw the map inside. It just goes to show - you never know where opening a book will lead . . .
