Local author, Tom Jacomb is set to see the second of his Ice Kids series of children’s fantasy books hit the shelves.
The second instalment of the saga, published by the renowned Austin Macauley Publishers, follows the fortunes of the snow and ice kids as they continue the journey to their winter camp.
Free from the clutches of the wolf Burrmark, Jay leads the children ever south to their intended destination. There are still many mountains to cross, a permafrost, and a huge expanse of featureless snow with a storm brewing, as well as the constant daily search for food, which troubles their every step. As time drags on, each of the children has their own problems, needs, and hopes, all of which Jay, with his sister’s help, must somehow solve. What can a colony of penguins do to help? A wolf pack, a cave, and a second avalanche will test even their strongest beliefs. Will they ever reach the winter land and find their parents again?
The second adventure of the ice kids is due for release on 6 December but can be pre-ordered on the publisher’s website at austinmacauley.com where you can also find the first book.
Ice Kids is also available at the Town Crier offices for anyone who wants to catch up with the first part of the adventure.
