Malamander by Thomas Taylor - 8+
Nobody visits Eerie-on-Sea in the winter. Especially not when darkness falls and the wind howls around Maw Rocks and the wreck of the battleship Leviathan, where even now some swear they have seen the unctuous Malamander creep...
Herbert Lemon, Lost-and-Founder at the Grand Nautilus Hotel, knows that returning lost things to their rightful owners is not easy – especially when the lost thing is not a thing at all, but a girl. No one knows what happened to Violet Parma’s parents twelve years ago, and when she engages Herbie to help her find them, the pair discover that their disappearance might have something to do with the legendary sea-monster, the Malamander.

 Coventry Libraries are really happy to receive the donations of Mark Wood’s books - Rock and ice and Solo explorer from Michael Mogan in all libraries across the city. It is a tremendous opportunity for families to have access to these books, to look at his expedition photographs and to read about the journey from Mark’s school days to reaching the North Pole. As Libraries continue to re-open at this time, we will ensure that they are available for all.
Mark is so proud to see these books go into the libraries throughout the City. “They are based on my journey from Coventry to some of the most extreme cold areas of our planet. My work is to inspire young people to think differently about themselves and the planet - so allowing young Coventrians access to these books through our libraries is incredible.”
Michael purchased additional copies to be given as prizes. To win, people are encouraged to tweet to Coventry libraries @covlibraries with the hashtag: #changeforcoventry with their pledges to help their local environment - and winners will be chosen at the end of September to receive their free copy.
Follow Mark’s journey.
