The Rage of the Sea Witch

The Rage of the Sea Witch Synopsis

The Rage of the Sea Witch is packed with adventure, time-travel, humour, history and fantasy all perfectly blended in one place. 

Shaman by name and shaman by nature - Billy just hasn't found his magic ... yet.

His selfish, globetrotting parents abandon him for yet another summer in Charles Darwin's strange, museum-like house, where Billy stumbles across a 200-year-old giant talking tortoise named Charles Darwin, by the famous man himself. Charles D, the tortoise, knows every inch of the house and every artefact in it, and he's keen to help Billy realise his powers and set him on the path to adventure.

A beautifully carved Inuit ivory necklace is the first object that whisks him back in time to the shrieking chaos of an Arctic blizzard to meet its rightful owner, a girl called Ahnah, her shape-shifting grandmother and the mysterious explorer Pytheas.

“I wanted to write a history of the discovery of the world with lots of maps and all the great explorers, but the more I learned about it the harder it was to decide who should tell the story and how. So I came up with Billy Shaman. A new kind of explorer who returns the contents of the Darwin museum to their original homes.” – Roland Chambers

With black and white illustrations by the author on every spread, this series offers learning through fun, as well as a playground buzz as readers join Billy’s world-wide adventures and become explorers themselves.
