An exhilarating new series set in the great outdoors, from HOTEL FLAMINGO author Alex Milway
Welcome to Big Sky Mountain: a home for everyone!
Rosa is getting used to life on Big Sky Mountain with Grandma Nan, Albert the moose and Little Pig the pygmy owl. It's busy work living in the wilderness, and there seems to be an adventure round every corner. When a storm rages over the mountain one night and a little lost wolf cub appears at Rosa's door, Rosa and Grandma Nan set off to return the cub to her pack. But it's not easy - they've got to go deep into the forest, and everyone knows that wolves are really dangerous and scary - aren't they? Alex Milway is a full-time children's books author-illustrator and screenwriter. His books include the Hotel Flamingo and Big Sky Mountain series (Piccadilly) and Pigsticks and Harold (Walker Books). Welcome to BIG SKY MOUNTAIN: a home for everyone! The second in a new four-book young fiction series from the author of HOTEL FLAMINGO, Alex Milway Contains around 60 two-colour illustrations, in black and blue HOTEL FLAMINGO has sold over 56,000 copies across all four books; the first book in the series is a BookTrust Pick as well as being shortlisted for the Alligator's Mouth Award 2020, and international rights in the series have been sold in 14 territories BIG SKY MOUNTAIN is a love letter to nature and the wild, inspired by Alex's own childhood with his grandma in the Malvern Hills, and the woodland and cabin he now owns in Kent The books have a fictional, non-specified location, but draw on inspiration from the landscape of the Highlands of Scotland as well as the wilderness of North America. The four books will span the four different natural environments of Big Sky Mountain, from river to forest to mountain to coast, with stories and adventures set in diverse natural habitats and with different animals BIG SKY MOUNTAIN captures what it is to be young and free in the wilderness while also considering themes of rewilding and climate change, our place in nature and the respect we should have for it Each book will feature additional material at the end for budding naturalists and outdoor adventurers and makers - including a 'spot the ...' feature where readers can look out for particular plants and animals throughout the stories, and 'how to make' and 'how to help' ideas Funny and charming; Alex Milway has made me want to fly right into Big Sky Mountain myself. I want to go to Big Sky Mountain! It's the rugged wilderness, but much softened by a comfy bear who's a travelling salesman, a moody architect hare and some busy builder beavers who still have to learn about how to get along with the rest of the community. This is a perfect, big-hearted adventure story, with pictures and laughs on every page and an environmental message delivered with the lightest touch. Once you have met the wonderful cast of talking animals, warmed to Nan's peculiar ways and found your feet in the wilderness, like Rosa you'll never want to leave Big Sky Mountain. As a HUGE fan of feisty grandmothers I LOVED Grandma Nan in Big Sky Mountain! Wise, capable and fearless she is the perfect role model for her granddaughter Rosa. A wild adventure with an important message, bravo! The perfect adventure to rewild young readers
