Julia is staying with her parents on the tiny island of Unst, where her father is repairing the lighthouse. Her interest in the changing arctic landscape and the threat to the wildlife of those areas is reflected in two of her recent novels for children Leila and the Blue Fox and Julia and the Shark. Several books later, she returned to her early inspiration, the far reaches of the planet. I loved it too, and included it in my June 2022 blog 5 fantastic summer reads for children.Ī Girl of Ink and Stars was an instant bestseller, and brought its author much well-deserved attention. I came across her children’s novels last summer when my granddaughter, then 10, told me that her favourite book was A Girl of Ink and Stars. Since the publication of Last March she has been astonishingly productive. It was written in collaboration with the Scott Polar Research Institute to mark the centenary of Captain Scott’s final expedition to the South Pole.Ĭhildren’s novels by Kiran Millwood Hargrave
