Today we are launching an exciting giveaway that gives a whole class the opportunity to have an early read of Emma Carroll’s next book and to put their questions to her in a special interview to appear on our blog.
We have teamed up with publisher Macmillan Children’s Books for a special competition to win proofs of Emma Carroll’s new book AND the chance to ask her questions.
Award-winning author Emma Carroll has returned to the world Eva Ibbotson created in her classic middle-grade adventure Journey to the River Sea. We are inviting you to journey down the Amazon and dive into the next chapter of the story with Emma Carroll in her captivating new story Escape to the River Sea. War is over and Rosa Sweetman, a Kindertransport girl, embarks on an adventure full of danger in search of giant sloths, jaguars and a place for herself.
We have a class set of up to 35 proofs of Escape to the River Sea to gift to a class of Year 5s or 6s. Better still, once they’ve read the book, the winning class will be able to put their questions about the story to Emma and she’ll answer her favourites here on BooksForTopics as part of her blog tour around publication.
Escape to the River Sea by Emma Carroll is published by Macmillan Children’s Books on 9th June 2022.
