Lastly, I felt like all the loose ends were not wrapped up in a nice way. This was very much a first-in-the-series book. Even more so than Wizards of once.

The book is stuffed with eccentric characters, some of whom pass through briefly, but may have a larger role to play in the future.
Stepsiblings run into world-hopping, magical trouble in this series opener from How To Train Your Dragon author Cowell. Here's a round-up of new children's books from the last year (2023), which we think any child aged 8 to 9 will love. Join former Waterstones Children’s Laureate Cressida Cowell as she talks about her out-of-this-world new series, Which Way to Anywhere, and reveals how she was inspired by an idea she first had 25 years ago. She’ll also talk about her bestselling How to Train Your Dragon books and The Wizards of Once series. K2 O’Hero is a seemingly ordinary boy – after all, he and his twin sister Izzabird have been sworn to keep their family’s magical history a secret. Not even their infuriating stepsiblings, Theo and Mabel, know that magic exists. They believe K2 to be the most hopeless person they have ever known. The stepfather doesn’t suspect he married into such an interesting family. Neither does Theo, his intelligent and sporty son, or Mabel, his quiet and kind daughter.Jim Mellon Moo’s Law: An Investor’s Guide to the New Agrarian Revolution Exeter College: Marquee 10:00am Sun 26 Sunday, 26 March 2023 See this event This book felt… cluttered? Chaotic? I felt like there were too many characters, magical objects and otherworldly beings to get to know the main characters.

K2 is a seemingly unremarkable boy who does his best not to stand out. Izzabird, his twin, is smart, funny and chatty. Their family has a strange Magical history - ‘There’s nothing strange about US!’ but the twins are under strict instructions not to tell anyone. We know K2 feels insecure about not being ‘heroic’, but we never find out what that means. Hiccup accepted that he was not a Viking Hero and withdrew to study Dragonese. Wish became anxious and fearful of her mother while Xar became rebellious and self centered.
F rom the bestselling author of How to Train Your Dragon and The Wizards of Once comes an out-of-this-world new adventure … I came away buzzing and reassured that we still have in this century a wide ranging community fascinated not just by famous authors (I’ve rarely seen so many concentrated in one place) but by challenging ideas and questions.

The family had to catch their own fish to eat. The house was lit by candle-light, and there was no telephone or television, so Cressida spent her time drawing and writing stories.

Telgemeier’s bold colors, superior visual storytelling, and unusual subject matter will keep readers emotionally engaged and unable to put down this compelling tale. A stimulating and rewarding on-stage conversation; a lively informed and tolerant audience; privileged access to the great treasures of the Bodleian, and finally, wonderfully interesting dinner companions to help me conclude the best day I have enjoyed at any festival – anywhere.
Often kids say to be that they aren’t very good at writing, but I know that’s not true – what they’re struggling with is the mechanics of getting the words onto paper.

Which Way to Anywhere is a story full of twists and turns, encompassing magic and mystery. K2 and Izzabird O'Hero are born into a magical family and sworn to secrecy. After their father mysteriously disappears (presumed dead), they acquire a new family who they need to keep their secret from. Theo and Mabel Smith (their stepsiblings) do not like the O'Heros and are highly suspicious of them and try to make their lives a misery. Little do they know that K2 has a secret gift: he draws maps of worlds that are beyond the wildest of imaginations but this gift puts the family in danger when Cyril Sidewinder - a Geography teacher in disguise - terrorises the family and kidnaps a child. The warring stepsiblings need to put their differences aside and embark on a journey to new lands to rescue their sister and father before it is too late! A magical adventure that involves a blended family coming together to rescue their baby sister. As expected from a Cressida Cowell story, this is fun with lots of close escapes, villains who are actually quite good, good characters who end up being bad ... and all illustrated with some wonderfully evocative drawings.
