Leila and the Blue Fox: An enthralling, uplifting adventure story from the creators of JULIA AND THE SHARK

Product Information

Orion) Leila and the Blue Fox is a sort of sequel to Kiran Millwood Hargrave and Tom de Freston’s Julia and the Shark. It transcends their nationality and origins and becomes a universal dialogue on growing up and responsibility.

The dynamic is frayed and ever-shifting; Leila hasn't seen her mother in six years and is desperate for answers. On a breathtaking journey across the sea, Leila rediscovers herself and the mother she thought she’d lost, with help from a determined little fox.You guys were so fab and Dawn was such a lovely presence in the schools - I will absolutely be in touch next time I'm in your neck of the woods.

This experience has been fantastic primarily for the children, the school and also for me (professionally). The Mercies debuted at number one of the The Times bestseller list, is a Sunday Time bestseller, and was selected for the BBC Radio 2 Book Club. Julia and the Shark, in collaboration with her husband, artist Tom de Freston, was Indie Book of the Month, Scottish Booktrust Book of the Month, and has been shortlisted for the Waterstones Book of the Year 2021. This is a story of outsiders and boundaries, of the environment and man's relation to and similarities with other creatures. Julia is befriended by another lonely child, Kin, who is bullied by a group of racist boys in the village.

It was such a pleasure to meet you both, and I really appreciated how smoothly and professionally you ran everything. La historia en sí se me hizo mucho más oscura de lo que esperaba jajaj tipo no es un libro para niños común y corriente.
