Review
"'Gill Arbuthnott is no one-novel wonder. She folds a full-blooded "other" world into the very real-feeling living space of her teenage characters.' - The Sunday Herald 'Dramatic, well crafted, well sustained and imaginative. Her relationships are utterly convincing, written without affectation or self-consciousness.' - Times Education Supplement Scotland 'An unusual, enjoyable combination of fantasy thriller and psychological drama with a warmly satisfying ending.' - The Scotsman"
Product Description
St Andrews, Fife - not known for its glorious weather, but even so, Josh hadn't expected the sea to start to freeze and ice to creep up the beaches ...His summer holiday isn't looking too promising, especially as his only companions are a strange local girl, Callie, and her enormous dog Luath. Then they uncover the journal of an eighteenth-century girl who writes about a Kingdom of Summer, and suddenly they find themselves thrown headlong into a storm of witches, ice creatures, magic and the Winter King. A permanent winter threatens unless they can help restore the natural balance of the seasons. Can they stop the Winterbringers once and for all?
