In this poignant tale from award-winning author Liz Flanagan, Jasmine uncovers the magic of creativity while navigating the complexities of friendship and family.

Jasmine loves wolves, her mum and her best friend, Ella. But Jasmine's mum has fallen ill, and Ella is busy with Layla, the new girl at school. Everything has changed.

At a new art club, Jasmine learns to channel her worries and sadness into creativity, building a magnificent wolf lantern for the town parade. But when a moment of anger threatens to undo all her progress, can Jasmine find a way to control her emotions and repair her friendships?

Particularly suitable for readers aged 7+ with a reading age of 7.

Liz Flanagan grew up in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire where she lives with her husband and two teenage daughters. She completed a PhD in Creative Writing in 2017, and now divides her time between teaching creative writing and writing her own books. She loves doing school visits and talking to young people about writing and creativity. Previously, she ran Lumb Bank, the Arvon Centre for creative writing and former home of Yorkshire poet Ted Hughes.

Liz adores animals and would have loved to find a hidden bag of dragon eggs as a child. She has to make do with her cat, dog and small flock of chickens. She also likes to travel and has taken inspiration from many of the beautiful cities she’s visited, mixing them all up into the imaginary island of Arcosi.

Her books include the Wildsmith series, illustrated by Joe Todd-Stanton; Legends of the Sky series, and Eden Summer (nominated for the Carnegie Medal).
