THE HEARTSONG OF WONDER QUINN
Lonely orphan Wonder Quinn lives by herself in Direleafe Hall, with only a temperamental crow called Hollowbeak for company.
What she yearns for most is a real friend to call her own. When Mable Clattersham, a tiny thin girl with a blaze of red hair, arrives at Direleafe Hall, Wonder's wish finally comes true. But Hollowbeak can tell Mabel has a secret -- will he be able to protect Wonder from getting her heart broken?
This gothic fairytale for younger readers (7+) is an enchanting exploration of grief, longing and the healing power of friendship.
Kate Gordon grew up in a very booky house, with two librarian parents, in a small town by the sea in Tasmania. After studying performing arts and realising she was a terrible actor, Kate decided to give in to genetics and study to be a librarian herself. She never stopped writing and, in 2009, with the encouragement of a very nice man called Leigh (who is also her husband), she applied for and won a Varuna fellowship, which led to all sorts of lovely writer things happening.
Kate's first book, Three Things About Daisy Blue, was published in the Girlfriend series by Allen and Unwin in 2010. She has also written Thyla, Vulpi, Writing Clementine, and Twenty-five Memories of Viggo MacDuff. Her most recent publications are the young adult novel Girl Running, Boy Falling and the younger reader Juno Jones: Word Ninja.
