| Publisher Description: On her twelfth birthday Brat's father disappears. She waits, but he never comes back. When she goes looking she is laughed at, and her belongings stolen. Reduced to begging and determined to find out what has happened to him, she is helped by Gray and Baylock, whom she quickly discovers are outlaws. There is far more to either of them than a brush with the law, and Brat finds that nothing is simple, nowhere is safe, and being reunited with her family must wait, as more pressing tasks fall into her path. |
Contributor Bio(s): Potts, Ghillian: - Ghillian Potts was 85 the day before the publication in 2018 of her latest novel, Wolftalker. Alongside bringing up a family, she has worked in bookshops, in educational publishing and as a secondary school teacher. She has been writing continuously, both prose and verse, since she was seven. At that age she got out of a bit of housework by saying, 'Must I, Mum? I'm writing a Poem!' in her best whine. To her amazement, her mum at once said, 'Oh, all right, I'll do it!' Obviously, writing was a Good Thing. As well as a number of stories for 7-10 year-olds published in the 1990s and 2000s, one of which, Sink or Swim, featured on Jackanory, she has written historical readers for a local school. Arachne Press is publishing her young adult novels, and stories for much younger children which were written at various stages in her career, but not published until now. |
