Readings Hawthorn, Woiwurrung Country, 687 Glenferrie Rd, Hawthorn, Victoria, 3122

Roll up, roll up – the circus is in town!

Join us for a book launch with a touch of magic: Sarah Armstrong debuts her new middle grade novel, Big Magic with the help of some flexible friends (acrobats and in-conversation will feature on the day).

Eleven-year-old Tulsi comes from a long line of women magicians, but her mother has always forbidden her to learn Big Magic. It’s dangerous, thrilling, and powerful – and Tulsi wants it more than anything. But one hot summer’s night, a magic trick goes horribly wrong, and her mother disappears. Only one person can bring her back, and that’s Tulsi.Sarah Armstrong is a Walkley award-winning former journalist and writer. She has written a number of books for grown-ups, including Salt Rain, which was shortlisted for a Miles Franklin award. Big Magic is her first book for kids.
