I am wildly excited about this book. It’s my eleventh book, but it feels like my first – probably because it’s so different from anything else I’ve written. And because seeing what Jonathan Bentley has brought to the illustrations is so beautiful and so moving.

So here at last are the front and back covers, with Ella in her little elastic-sided boots, and that astonishing landscape spreading out before her.

Latest word is that the book will be out in August.
