SO HAPPY Storm Child has been longlisted for the Children's Wainwright Prize for fiction.
I grew up with copies of his guides to the fells. Last year, I hiked his favourite, Haystacks, with my kids. His books shaped my love of nature, so this feels special @wainwrightprize

Unsung author thread: @EleFountain is a brilliant writer who anchors her stories in the real world. She opens the readers eyes up to a range of real life situations that beg belief.

Storm Child by Ele Fountain Spark! Book Awards 9+ category. I love how the author effortlessly interweaves themes of climate change, family debt and sustainability through the eyes of the young character, Maya. I enjoyed the storm metaphor relating to change in Maya's life.
