Get ready for magic and mayhem when you attend our next Cup of Tea author talk!
Join me on Sunday, August 10 at 3 PM EDT, where I will be interviewing children’s writer, Clare Harlow, author of books, Tidemagic: The Many Faces of Ista Flit, which has been shortlisted for many awards such as The Waterstones Children’s Book Prize and The Week Junior Breakthrough Book Award and her latest book, Tidemagic: Ista Flit and the Impossible Key. We’ll be talking about her writing career and any upcoming writing projects she has down the pipeline!
Book Synopsis:
In misty Shelwich, magic rises and falls with the tides, everyone is born with a magical gift, and people have started to . . . disappear.
Rumor has it they are snatched by monsters, but Ista Flit doesn’t want to believe it. Not when her own father is missing. As she scours the city, searching for clues, a notorious thief finds her. Ista has a rare talent: she’s a face-changer, able to take on the appearance of anyone she’s seen, and Alexo could use a girl with her skill. Ista could use Alexo’s help in her search–if only she could trust him.
As more people disappear from the city, Ista finds unexpected allies in Nat and Ruby, each searching for their own missing loved ones. These three determined kids will need to use all the Tidemagic they can summon, infiltrate the city’s highest elite circles, and dive into its lowest caverns, in order to find how thieves, monsters, and the missing are all connected.
