Fantasy and Adventure Panel
Step into a world of magical tattoos, time-stopping twins, glittering cities, and centuries-old secrets in this unforgettable event for young fantasy lovers. Acclaimed authors Michelle Harrison and Philippa Leathley take the stage for a spellbinding book talk and Q&A, exploring the power of storytelling, the joy of writing fantasy, and what it takes to create unforgettable adventures.
Philippa Leathley introduces her gripping new book Inkbound: Meticulous Jones and the Skull Tattoo, the second in her magical middle-grade series. When Metty receives a fate-marking tattoo of a skull, her life changes forever. With danger lurking and her father missing, Metty must journey to New London to uncover the truth—and find out who she really is.
Michelle Harrison, bestselling author of A Pinch of Magic and The Thirteen Treasures, shares a first look at her brand new novel Twice Upon a Time—a deliciously twisty mystery about twin sisters who can stop time. What begins as a quiet holiday quickly turns into a time-bending investigation involving missing people, locked rooms, and family secrets.
In conversation with Kate Hancock, this event is packed with fantasy world-building, thrilling plot twists, and plenty of writerly wisdom to inspire young readers and budding authors alike.
Early copies of Michelle Harrison’s Twice Upon a Time will be available to purchase and sign on the day!
Ideal for students aged 8–13, this lively, magical event will leave imaginations racing and pens ready to write.
