Product Description

Product Description
This is a fantastic and epic adventure story. Snowbone is the natural leader of a band of wooden children, who are tracking down a group of human slavers. Their journey takes them on a wonderful flying ship from island to island, into the heart of a volcano, into the dreadful slave quarry and on to the final battle. Along the way, they make staunch friends and are betrayed by unexpected people. They also discover their own talents, weaknesses and heart's desire. With its roots in myth and magic, this is a story full of action, poetry and dark twists of fate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Flying ships, exploding volcanoes, man-eating plants, hungry cannibals, burning buildings - they're all here, 16 April 2008
This review is from: Snowbone (Paperback)
Snowbone is the sequel to Barkbelly, Snowbone, one of the characters from Barkbelly becomes a fierce warrior, determined to fight for her people's freedom. With Figgis, Blackeye and her gang of tiddlins marching beside her, Snowbone hunts for the slave traders. But the slavers won't give in without a fight, areal page turner - will Snowbone live to tell the tale?

This book is a testament to the imagination. A children's novel that will appeal to adults, Cat Weatherill's sequel to Barkbelly broaches issues of slavery, love and death while maintaining a magical charm. The book is filled with action... made all the more powerful by a spiritual undercurrent and moments of intense lyrical beauty. As the story progresses Snowbone grows in maturity, gaining wisdom and knowledge through her experiences.

A thrilling book with beautiful language.
