Wildspark: A Ghost Machine Adventure (Winner of the Blue Peter Book Award 2020)

Product Information

Vashti Hardy has conjured up an utterly believable world in Wildspark which draws you in, captivating in its inventiveness. Prue is a winning heroine, and along with the wonder and adventure, there are plenty of deep and difficult questions to consider about death, life, grief and prejudice. I was thrilled to receive an early copy of this book and I just loved being immersed in the world of Wildspark. Vashti Hardy is a clever storyteller whose imaginary worlds are as inventive as they are thrilling.

With a +10 professional musket, incorporating all of those fox kills, I can do 1 full rotation, and then do a second rotation through the 5th wolf (aka, not enough durability for the very last wolf). Like I said at the beginning of the hunting section, it is extremely important to understand the terrain as well as your prey. Let’s look at the characteristics of the wolves.Vashti Hardy is a writer of children’s books living near Brighton in Sussex with her husband and three teens.

Once at the Guild, Prue meets a colourful group of apprentices who become her friends; Agapantha, a bright mathematician and Edwin, a creative stoat and the first personifate apprentice. Cora Duval also shares Prue and Agapantha’s dorm room and provides much conflict with her hatred of lower classes and personifates. They all have relatable insecurities and are very ‘real’ characters even though they inhabit a fantasy world. The main character in Wildspark is a young apprentice called Prue. What can you tell us about her? Who inspired her? Apart from your own books, are there any children’s books you’ve particularly enjoyed recently and would recommend?
