Callum and The Other by McClure, achats Alan NEUF

Change has come to the village of Skerrils, and fourteen-year-old Callum is struggling to adjust. Important people have moved on; others have arrived.

Even the Mountain, once the scene of an epic adventure for Callum and his friends, has vanished in the October mist. But its power cannot stay hidden for long, for in that mist lurks a terrifying new presence that wishes to destroy all that Callum has ever fought for.

This presence is known only as The Other, and it will take alliances old and new to reconnect Callum with past magic if he is to stop it before everything is lost.

"This has a wonderful, otherworldly atmosphere - like a fantastic film on a bank holiday afternoon. Thats how it feels to me. So much fantasy is nihilistic and dark, but this is delightful."

-Paul Magrs, author of Strange Boy, Lost on Mars and The Novel Inside You

"McClure had me from the first four words! This is a story about change and loneliness and how we connect. What it is to be human. McClure has filled this sequel with the same vivid, vibrant, sometimes uncanny sense of place - a story for our strange and difficult times."

-Joan Lennon, most recently co-author with Joan Haig of Talking History: 150 years of world-changing speeches

"Much anticipated, Callum and The Other doesnt disappoint. Dare I say, this is the authors best yet - it brims with the intrigue, lyricism and light humour now characteristic of Alan McClures novels. My kids and I want more!"

-Joan Haig, author of Tiger Skin Rug
