Description
Book Band: Grey, ideal for ages 8+ A hilarious folklore-inspired adventure featuring two BMX-riding heroines by award-winning author Stephen Davies. Daisy and Liberty are two bored sisters living in The-Middle-of-Nowhere, Dartmoor.

This magical adventure is immersed in local Dartmoor legend, and features black-and-white illustrations by Marta Dorado. The Bloomsbury Readers series is packed with book-banded stories to get children reading independently in Key Stage 2 by award-winning authors like double Carnegie Medal winner Geraldine McCaughrean and Waterstones Prize winner Patrice Lawrence. With engaging illustrations and online guided reading notes written by the Centre for Literacy in Primary Education (CLPE), this series is ideal for home and school.

His first book Sophie and the Albino Camel won the Glen Dimplex Prize for best debut children's book.

Stephen enjoys visiting schools in the UK and overseas, helping students with their own creative writing. Marta Dorado is an illustrator who was born in Gijon (Asturias, Spain) in 1989 and lives in Pamplona. Her childhood, surrounded by nature and close to the sea, strongly influences Marta's work.
