BONE QUILL
Lots of twins have a special connection - being able to finish each other's sentences; sensing what the other is thinking; perhaps even knowing when the other is in trouble or in pain - but for 12-year-old twins, Matt and Emily Calder, the connection is beyond special. Together, the twins have extraordinary powers - they are able to bring art to life, or enter paintings at will.
Matt and Emily were introduced in John and Carole E Barrowman's first fantasy novel for young people, Hollow Earth. Their thrilling adventures continue in the sequel, Bone Quill, which was released in the UK on 7 February 2013. Bone Quill will be published in the US on 9 July 2013 by Aladdin Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster. The cover for the US edition has now been released (photo right).
Bone Quill is available for order from all good booksellers, including Amazon.
