Children's Bookseller Choice, praise for The Rising

After his dad's boat crashes, Ed finds himself on a strange beach. He meets a girl - headstrong Steff - who doesn't know where they are, either. As Ed and Steff explore, they discover the deep lore of this new realm. They meet a pack of wolves with a secret and an armoured pangolin called Astolpho, who reveals the only way home involves a dragon who lives at the top of an impossibly tall, rocky spire . . . Traditional fantasy elements are mixed deliciously with Tom's unique humour and originality, in this breathtaking, heartfelt, utterly immersive story.
Les mer
An imagination-freeing adventure for the ages, where magic is in the air and home lies beyond a dragon's tears.
