  Open this book carefully: as soon as you do, the wind will sweep you up across the city. You'll roam down empty streets, take a ride on the Metro and see magical things – but there's always time to stop and look about the world around you: the night, the rain, and the sea. These poems focus on everyday, small things – and breathe new life into everything that children see around them. A plastic bag dreams of becoming a cloud, raindrops go on holiday to the sea, and hats fill up with thoughts.
  The book builds an immersive, tender world – and through its gentle sense of humour and striking images it teaches children to look closely at everything they come across.. Suitable for children aged 6+.

  The author of A Green and Ancient Light “leads us through his world with equal measure of heart-stopping adventure and awakened awareness” (The News-Gazette). 
   
  Cymbril feels like a bird in a cage. Her task is to sing, to draw crowds to the markets offered by Master Rombol, lord of the Thunder Rake, the only home Cymbril has known. The Rake is a city on wheels, a vast wagon that rolls over the land, its interior a labyrinth of stairways, corridors, chambers, and secret doors. 
   
  When Cymbril befriends a fellow slave, a boy named Loric, one of the mysterious Fey, she dreams of a life beyond the Rake, and the two begin to plan their escape. But dangers haunt the shadows—the ominous Eye women, the perilous Night Market, the terrors of the Groag Swamp, and something that stalks the night’s dark byways, hunting . . . 
   
  Survival will depend upon courage, loyalty, and perhaps upon a gift from Cymbril’s long-departed parents—the glowing and magical fragment of a star. 
   
  “Durbin has created a world that, though mainly confined to a single mobile city, comes alive with fantastic creatures and a varied cast of supporting characters.” —Booklist  
   
  “Evocative imagery, an enthralling world, and a fully realized storyline that does not depend on future installments make this a standout among recent pre-YA fantasies.” —The Bulletin

  “A story that illustrates the constellations in a new and beautiful way” from the author of Mermaids on Mars and Jude’s Moon (Making Them Readers).  Circus in the Sky is a gorgeously illustrated tale of a little boy who believes he is the ringmaster of the night sky. Poetic and magical, it will inspire parents and kids to want to learn more of the universe and its wonders.   “This little gem is a delightfully entertaining read. Julian dreams he is the ringleader of the constellations in Circus in the Sky. He discovers Leo the Lion, the Gemini twins and the rest of the sky’s 88 constellations.” —MySocialGoodNews.com   “A wonderful lesson of the constellations in our night sky. The story is told through the imagination of a young boy named Julian as he dreams he is the ringleader of a circus in the sky. As the tent floats among the stars the various famous constellations are introduced. Constellations like Orion the Mighty Hunter, Ursa Major and Ursa Minor and the seven sisters.” —Observations from a Simple Life
