Home / Events at Readings / Song of a Thousand Seas by Zana Fraillon
Kids & YA

Join us to celebrate the launch of Song of a Thousand Seas by Zana Fraillon, Launched by Kate Mildenhall.

Saturday 6 September, 2.00pm
Readings Kids

Join us to celebrate the launch of Zana Fraillon's new verse novel, Song of a Thousand Seas.

Houdini the octopus lives in an aquarium, but she misses her home in the wild Sea. She doesn't like the visitors who bang on her tank. Or the way she can't feel the sun on her skin or the wind rippling the water. It's a dull existence for a creature with nine brains.

Song of a Thousand Seas is a lyrical verse novel of homecoming and friendship by the multi-award-winning author of The Bone Sparrow and The Way of Dog. Suitable for everyone, but especially those aged 9-12 years old.

Kate Mildenhall will do the launching honours on the day.

Free, but bookings are essential.

Please book here.
