Year 7 find themselves ‘in the shadow of the Wolf Queen’

We were delighted to welcome Author Kiran Millwood-Hargrave to Ripley on Tuesday 18 June, to visit Year 7 and talk about her new book, ‘In the Shadow of the Wolf Queen’.

“When her sister vanishes after a mysterious earthquake, Ysolda sets off on a rescue mission. But these are dangerous times, and soon she is forced to strike a deadly bargain with the wolf queen herself. Join Ysolda and her loyal sea hawk as they embark on an epic quest to save her sister and unlock the earth’s most powerful magic…”

Kiran’s book, The Girl of Ink and Stars previously won the Waterstones Children’s Prize, the British Book Awards Children’s Book of the Year and the Financial Times Book of the Year.

Year 7 became completely absorbed  during the talk and  asked some very  intriguing questions of Kiran during the Q and A session. They were able to meet the author and have an ordered book personally signed by Kiran after the event.  Judging by the number of books  on order,  it’s safe to say that this was a very successful event.
