“A fresh new fantasy of an enchanting world.” - Wendy Orr, author of Nim’s Island and Dragonfly Song.
When fifteen-year-old Esme Silver objects at her father’s wedding, her protest is dismissed as the action of a stubborn, selfish teenager. Everyone else has accepted the loss of Esme’s mother, Ariane – so why can’t she?
But Esme is suspicious. She is sure that others are covering up the real reason for her mother’s disappearance – that ‘lost at sea’ is code for something more terrible, something she has a right to know.
After Esme is accidentally swept into the enchanted world of Aeolia, the truth begins to unfold. With her newfound friends, Daniel and Lillian, Esme retraces her mother’s steps in the glittering canal city of Esperance, untangling the threads of Ariane’s double life. But the more Esme discovers about her mother, the more she questions whether she really knew her at all.
This fresh, inventive tale is an ideal read for younger teens.
About Elizabeth:
I
was born in Brisbane, Australia, and now live in Sydney. Apart from
writing and reading, which take up most of my time, I love walking,
travelling and playing piano (badly).
As
a child, I was called Dizzy Lizzy – which I regarded as an insult
all my life, until I started writing! Now, daydreaming is a central
part of what I do. My favourite childhood books included the
Chronicles of Narnia and Enid Blyton’s adventure stories. I was
such an avid reader that my godfather gave me the complete works of
Shakespeare when I was ten. (Still haven’t read them all…) My
reading tastes nowadays are eclectic, ranging from classic authors
such as Jane Austen, to the works of modern YA writers, including
J.K. Rowling, Tamora Pierce, Melina Marchetta and Maggie Stiefvater.
I
love movies almost as much as books. Dreamlike films – such as the
works of Hayao Miyazaki – hugely appeal to me, as do any clever
psychological films and TV series which revolve around female
characters, such as Buffy and Veronica Mars.
I
used to enjoy writing as a child, but then I grew up and was sadly
waylaid by more serious pursuits. Reading to my own kids reminded me
of how much I missed getting lost in other worlds, and once I started
writing again, I couldn’t stop. I am also fascinated with people’s
motivations and personalities, and now I get to explore them on the
page. I am a member of the SCBWI, the CBCA, and a reviewer for
CBCA’s Reading Time.
