One of our Books of the Year 2013 - January 2013 Book of the Month   A magical and action packed adventure in a cleverly created other world packed full of delightful characters. Orphaned Stormy works at the lowest level in the castle kitchens but he has dreams and aspirations – especially when it comes to the spitfyres, wonderful winged horses, and the sky-riders who career across the skies on them. When Stormy gets his chance to go and work in the Academy, he feels his dreams and hope will come true. Instead, he finds himself facing a dark and destructive power that lies at the heart of the Academy.


A Piece of Passion from the Publisher of The Spin, Emily Thomas       The minute you open a book by Rebecca Lisle and start the first chapter you know you're in very good hands. Action, plot and characters are all perfectly in place, and brilliantly delivered in what I call a 'contemporary classic' style. In The Spin, rich drama and emotional intelligence combine with a plucky and erstwhile  central character in the courageous Stormy – whose rise from lowly kitchen boy to triumphant sky rider is a joy to observe!


The Spin is a compelling, beautifully written magical fantasy, it is also charmingly funny, a bit of a tearjerker, and pleasingly yet not in the least derivatively an enchanting take on Charles Dickens's Great Expectations.
