A gripping historical adventure with a touch of mythology and science

Readers aged 8+ will be gripped by this exciting new middle-grade novel from the bestselling author of Darwin's Dragons.


We are enormous fans of Lindsay Galvin's historical books for kids. The settings and characters are always so vividly drawn, with a wonderful blend of historical fact and just a hint of magic. Her latest book is set during the Great Fire of London and is perfect classroom reading for KS2.

~Sarah

London, 1666

When fire breaks out, eleven-year-old Gil is separated from his family in the chaos. One of his few remaining possessions is a mysterious ball of rock that fell from the sky.

As he races to beat the inferno spreading across the city, neither he, nor his new friend Jennet, has any idea that the stone in his satchel is an unhatched bird of myth and fire. And that there are some who will stop at nothing to get their hands on a legendary phoenix . . .

Lindsay Galvin was lucky enough to be raised in a house of stories, music, and love of the sea. She left part of her heart underwater after living and working in Thailand where she spent hundreds of blissful hours scuba diving. Forced now to surface for breath, she lives in sight of the chillier Sussex sea with her husband and two sons.
