Sam Gayton lives in Margate. In 2009 he completed the Writing for Young People MA at Bath Spa University and not long after published his first book, The Snow Merchant. He loves American novels, Italian food and the English countryside. When he's not writing, he likes playing old board games, strumming his guitar and joining as many rock bands as possible (currently at seven)."Gayton conjures worlds far beyond your imagination and characters that grab you by the hand and pull you with them, headlong into adventure"
- Gill Lewis,
"An enchanting read"
- Alex Scarrow,
"Fantastical! (And very funny.)"
- Pamela Butchart,
"An incredible fantasy fiction book full of humour."
- Natasha Harding, The Sun
"Poignant, strange, and featuring an extraordinary cast of creatures, from Smellephants to Faberge chickens, Gayton's latest novel is his most moving and ambitious yet"
Guardian
"Funny and fantastical, this unusual and imaginative adventure will sweep you away with Pia on a magical quest to save the world."
The Week Junior
"Mind-stretching, moving and explosive — a book that warns against the ubiquitous urge to seek a magical fix elsewhere for the consequences of planet-wrecking human irresponsibility."
- Imogen Russell-Williams, The Times Literary Supplement
