Voices on Tour
The Spotlight is on Anna Ciddor
Anna Ciddor is excited to announce the June release of her latest book, The Boy Who Stepped Through Time. In this adventure, a modern boy is transported back to Roman times and finds himself trying to save a girl’s life - a perfect match for the CBCA Book Week theme, Old Worlds, New Worlds, Other Worlds. Anna is offering new, inspiring sessions to celebrate the launch.
Anna is also thrilled that her last book, 52 Mondays, has just been recognised in the inaugural Book Links Award for Children’s Historical Fiction.
Congratulations
Allison Paterson's new picture book I Wonder, will be released in August
