From magical storyteller and author of Sky Song and the Ember Spark series, Abi Elphinstone, and with enchanting illustrations from Olivia Lomenech Gill, the illustrator behind Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Clare and Michael Morpurgo's Where My Wellies Take Me 💖

The stuff of dreams is to be able to interview those authors that have written books that resonate with you most; this is one of those dreams! The wonderful @Hickesy allowed me the honour of posing #ShadowhallAcademy questions to him you will want to know:
