This magical story follows three children living in a tower
block, as they embark on a fantastical adventure which helps them
see their home in a new light. A deeply personal story written by
multi-award winning poet and Waterstones Children's
Laureate Joseph Coelho, drawn from his own experience growing
up in a tower block and looking for adventure. This story is a
celebration of, and a reclaiming of tower blocks as a place where
magic and adventure can happen. It’s a modern-day fable that
shows the children of a tower block travelling to a strange,
magical world inside a tree and meeting an old man with
supernatural powers, only to realise that the magic they’d been
looking for had been in their tower all along. Beautiful
illustrations complement the poetic narrative, creating an
enchanting story which children and adults alike will fall in love
with. ​ This powerful story is about how society separates
‘urban’ spaces from the countryside, but the reality is that
nature is everywhere, and everyone should have access to it.Â

Keeper of the Lost Cities series, Sophie and her friends discover
the true meaning of power - and evil. Sophie Foster changed the
game. Now she's facing impossible choices: When to act. When to
trust. When to let go. Her friends are divided and scattered, and
the Black Swan wants Sophie to focus on their projects. But her
instincts are leading her somewhere else. Stellarlune - and the
mysterious Elysian - might be the key to everything. But finding
truth in the Lost Cities always requires sacrifice. And as the
Neverseen's plans sharpen into terrifying focus, it appears that
everyone has miscalculated. The Lost Cities' greatest lie could
destroy everything. And in the battle that follows, only one thing
is certain: nothing will ever be the same. Books in the Keeper of
