SUMMARY:An evening with Katherine Rundell
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to welcome bestselling author Katherine Rundell to Manchester to celebrate the release of The Poisoned King! \nThe mesmerising follow-up to Rundell’s Waterstones Book of the Year 2023-winning Impossible Creatures finds Christopher embroiled in an elaborate rescue mission as he returns to the magical world of the Archipelago. \nKatherine joins us at Manchester Central Library for a talk\, audience Q&A and signing. Please note that Katherine will sign all books bought from Waterstones on the day of the event\, but due to time restraints and to make sure that all readers have a chance to get their book signed\, Katherine will only be able to sign one book brought from home \nAbout The Poisoned King \nThe dragons call out\, and the ratatoskas tell of murder. \nCome with us now. There is justice to be done.\n\n\n\nReturn to the Archipelago – the secret place in our world where all the creatures of myth still live and thrive\, for a rescue mission like no other. The Poisoned King is the second book in the epic Impossible Creatures fantasy series from bestselling author Katherine Rundell. \nWhen Christopher Forrester is unexpectedly woken by a miniature dragon chewing on his face\, his heart leaps for joy. For months he’s dreamed of returning to the Archipelago. But he did not know it would involve a rescue mission on the back of a sphinx\, or a plan to enter a dragon’s lair. Nor did he imagine it would involve a girl with a flock of birds at her side\, a new-hatched chick in her pocket and a ravenous hunger for justice… \nAbout the author \nKATHERINE RUNDELL is a multi-million-bestselling author whose novels for children have won the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize\, the Blue Peter Book Award and the Costa Children’s Book Award\, among many others. Impossible Creatures was Waterstones Book of the Year 2023\, and in 2024 Katherine was named the British Book Awards Author of the Year and Impossible Creatures won the Children’s Fiction Book of the Year.
