DHH News Roundup 15th - 21st August 2022

8/22/2022

We're kicking off this week's DHH News Roundup with the stunning cover reveal for Abi Elphinstone's Saving Neverland (January 2023, Puffin Books), a magical and modern re-telling of the beloved J. M. Barrie tale.

Number 14 Darlington Road, looks like a perfectly ordinary townhouse - at first glance, anyway, but magic is good at hiding ... when it's waiting for the right person to discover it...

Martha Pennydrop is ten, and desperate to grow up. But growing up is a tricky business. It means turning your back on imagination, fun and magic, because those were the things that led to the Terrible Day when something awful nearly happened to Martha's younger brother, Scruff, which would have been All Her Fault.

But when Martha and Scruff discover mysterious gold dust in their bedroom in their new house - along with a window that's seemingly impossible to close - it's the start of an incredible adventure to a magical world: Neverland! The Pennydrop's new house used to belong to another family - the Darlings - who once visited this world themselves. Now Peter Pan is back, and in need of their help. Neverland is in the icy grip of a terrible curse - cast long ago by Captain Hook. And only Martha and Scruff can save it . . .

A reluctant Martha and excited Scruff are swept to Neverland and into the company of the Lost Kids. But when Scruff is kidnapped, Martha must rediscover all the imagination, magic and belief she has buried deep inside herself for so long, to save him - and Neverland itself.

Congratulations to the clients who all saw their books published last week:
  • Every Shade of Happy by Phyllida Shrimpton (Aria, Head of Zeus) - hardback, eBook and audio
  • Sarah's Gift by Anna Jacobs (Allison & Busby) - paperback
