Meanwhile her guardian Captain Newton is determined to recover an ancient artifact stolen by the League’s sinister Duke of Garran.

Philip Murdstone is a writer.
He writes subtle YA books about sensitive boys. Subtle books which don’t sell.
He does NOT write fantasy. He HATES fantasy - even the faintest whiff of goblins and elves brings him
out in hives. But - his agent Minerva Cinch informs him - his career as a writer is kaput if he DOESN’T
write fantasy.
Luckily for Murdstone, it is at this exact moment that he meets a strange creature from another realm.
What could possibly go wrong?


Jon Walter - My Name's Not Friday - Published by David Fickling - Hardback ISBN: 978-1910200438 - Out Now!
Samuel’s an educated boy. Been taught by a priest. He was never supposed to be a slave.
He’s a good boy too, thought- ful and kind. The type of boy who’d take the blame for something he didn’t do, if
it meant he could save his brother.
So now they don’t call him Samuel anymore.
And the sound of guns is getting ever closer . . .
Jon Walter’s second novel is a beautiful and moving story about the power of belief and the strength of the human spirit, set against the terrifying backdrop of the American Civil War.
