Extract

Tonight, I go wandering down to the wide, slow-moving river.

Tonight, I have things on my mind. The full goddess moon winks back at me like a
silver speckled stone, and my brown skin shimmers with ideas. Behind me in our camp the fire burns. It crackles, shooting sparks into the sky.

Come closer . . .

Do you see my tribe, the Nadi, gathered around the flames, listening to stories of our past?

About the book

Swallow lives in pre-historic England, a tribe that communicates through fireside story and song. When her baby sister falls ill, she sets off a dangerous journey to find the cure: a precious jadeite stone. Across seas and mountains, meeting terrors and wonders on the way, her quest brings her a spirit animal in the form of a sabre-toothed tiger.

• A gorgeous Christmas gift from the Costa Award-winning author of Asha & the Spirit Bird.
• Fully illustrated by the award-winning Sonia Albert.
• Short, poetic prose makes this a brilliant choice for less confident readers and fans of authors such as Kiran Millwood Hargrave and Katherine Rundell.
