Pandora and the Story Forge by Gaynor Andrews and Marie-Alice Harel. The artwork is exquisite, the story is beautiful, ah this book! It is a breathtaking creation. You can find it here in our 2024 Gift Guide rocketshipbookshop.co.uk/product-cate...
Published by Rocketbird Books

The front cover of Pandora and the Story Forge by Gaynor Andrew’s and Marie-Alice Harel.

The back cover: Discover the magical world of storyteller Pandora, adorer of brave and beautiful words, weaver and forger of tales. Pandora is an explorer, a collector of words (even ones that misbehave). Once she has the words she needs, she watches them flower and then forges them into the most magical stories.

Friend to all the story-starved children, Pandora knows a secret: once read, a story unfurls in your heart. Enter her world and you’ll never see words in quite the same way again.

Got a teen in your life and need a stocking filler this Christmas? Congratulations @samblakebooks.bsky.social #teenbooks #yafiction #xmaslist #booksforchristmas

SAM BLAKE @samblakebooks.bsky.social · Nov 28

Absolutely wowed to win International Education Services Teen Book of the Year last night at the An Post Irish Book Awards for Something's About to Blow Up 🎉🎉🎉
Here with my agent Simon Trewin 😊 so lovely to share the night with @maireadhearne.bsky.social and the Irish Murderesses too!

Sam Blake wearing glasses and a black and gold dress, sitting beside her agent Simon Trewin, wearing a black tux, both smiling (lots) and holding the glass An Post Irish Book Awards trophy, a squarish piece of glass in the slightly abstract shape of a book on a black marble plinth, with the lettering in An Post green across the glass.

Graphic banner with the red cover of Something's About to Blow Up on the right and Teen Book of the Year Winner on the left. The cover is scattered with hazard signs in yellow triangles and the tag line 'when chemistry gets explosive' and Sam Blake's name are written in a pale turquoise blue.
