It’s spring 2020 and fifteen-year-old Molly McFlynn is uprooted
from town life by her mam to live with her bohemian grandparents in
rural Northumberland. Molly is furious – her friends abandon her,
the food is inedible and her grandmother is doing strange things in
the garden at night. Life takes a new direction when she meets a
girl in the woods who appears to be on the run. Martha is from the
seventeenth century, and a life lived on the edge of society. She
is fleeing from the witch finder and the men who have hurled her
mother, Ann Watson, into the dungeons in Newcastle. As Molly’s
friendship with Martha grows, Molly reconciles with her true self,
develops a love of nature and moves away from her consumerist
lifestyle. However, as Covid strikes, and a local witch hunt takes
place, Martha’s is not the only life that is in danger. Molly
must stand up for what is right, help heal family rifts and come to
the rescue in a moment of peril. 'We all need a Molly in our lives.
Brave and impetuous, with an honest, distinctive and timely voice,
this girl is the real thing. I loved getting to know her.' Ann
Coburn, author of Glint

Through over 550 beautiful photos and informative (and humorous)
narration by the artist, this visual experience reveals the
evolution of Josh Simpson's evocative glass art over the past 50
years. In-depth looks at his several signature series and
experimental works illustrate how Simpson has continually explored
new ways to express -- in glass -- his fascination with outer
space, the natural world, and the workings of the universe.
Throughout, text and photo spreads narrate the story of Simpson's
less well-known works, details of his life and process, and his
contributions within the craft world. Text by experts in the glass
world, including William Warmus, Tina Oldknow, Nezka Pfeifer, and
others, supplies additional views. Plus, strategically placed
comments from numerous museum curators, along with insights from
astrophysicists and space flight professionals, present a unique
perspective on the meanings and broad appeal of Simpson's glass.

& Environment "Read this book carefully. Everything you need to
