The children’s middle grade fiction and HarperCollins treasure, bestselling, multi-award winning author Hannah Gold is back with her fourth novel, ’Turtle Moon’. Hannah’s books celebrate the tender relationships that children develop with endangered animals, when the child is in a time of personal chaos within their family unit. 

'Wilder' is set in a British water-side village, perhaps 150-200 years ago, telling by the landowning gentry, clothing worn, lack of industry, Christian superstitiousness of traditional folklore ways. A touching story that achieves the delicate balance between sacrifice, loss, and an appreciation for life entwined in the presence of nature in any given moment.

Book Review by The Kids Books Curator: ‘The Lost Whale’ by Hannah Gold, illustrated by Levi Pinfold (HarperCollins) For ages 8+. From London to LA, an 11 year old boy goes on a journey to find belonging, himself, joy, love and the healing power of an endangered grey whale. A beautiful and bold story of second chances.
