The Spin

Stormy is a skivvy in the castle kitchens, who can only dream about becoming a sky-rider soaring high in the skies on a spitfire – one of the magical winged horses that breathe fire. But Stormy’s fortunes change after he meets an escaped convict and is sent to work at the Academy where the sky-riders train.

Hoping to finally realise his dreams, instead Stormy soon begins to uncover a web of lies and deceit, as well as the mysterious thirteenth horse. Can he defeat the dark powers at work at the heart of the Academy and fulfil his dream of becoming a sky-rider at last?

Written with humour and sensitivity, this magical and captivating adventure is a wonderfully imaginative fantasy take on Dickens’s classic Great Expectations. This is an enthralling page turner for adventure and fantasy fans
