If you’re
familiar with our Bristol Vintage blog then you’ll know Sarah Baker, even if
you didn’t realise! Sarah interviewed and wrote about all the lovely people
who’ve featured on Bristol Vintage over the last few years, whether on the blog
or at the Wedding Fair. Now Sarah’s got a bit of news about her very own book!
You see
when she’s not writing for Bristol Vintage, Sarah’s been writing a children’s book for 8-12
year olds. It’s called Through the Mirror Door and here’s a little bit about
it:
Since
the accident, Angela has been alone. When she is invited on holiday with her
cousins, it is her chance to be part of a family again if she promises to
behave herself. But secrets lie in the walls of the crumbling French holiday
home and the forbidden rooms draw Angela in. Soon night-time footsteps,
flickering candlelight and shadows in windows lead her to a boy who needs her
help. To save him Angela must discover the truth about what happened in the
house all those years ago . . . and face the terrible secret of her own past.
We love
the cover and we’re thrilled for Sarah, especially as she’s combined her two
passions (writing & vintage). The main character, Angela, is a big fan of
vintage clothes and she even makes her own; that’s a girl after our own hearts.
I’ve always been an avid reader and, with her interest in children’s fiction, Sarah introduced me to lots of books I wouldn’t ordinarily have looked at, including Harry Potter and The Hunger Games, and now I can’t wait for my first peek of her very own book!
So if you
love middle grade books or have kids who’d love a timeslip adventure with
plenty of mystery, some spooky goings on and a fair amount of sewing, Through
the Mirror Door is out on 7th July.
