Go on a reading quest this month and enter an enchanted world with Felicity Fire

It’s World Book Day this month, and children are being encouraged to put down their phones and pick up a book instead.

Felicity Fire is hiding from school bullies in an old antique shop when she finds a mysterious key and is swept through an unusual door into an enchanted world.

The world shimmers with impossible magic and breathtaking wonder. Stranded, with danger lurking around every corner, she is soon joined by mischievous, lovable and brave new friends who accompany her on an unforgettable quest to find a way back home – and save the Land of Forever.

Felicity Fire and the Forever Key is the new sci-fi adventure novel by award-winning director-turned-author Leon Mitchell. In it, readers are introduced to “a sharp-witted kid who finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time… or does she?”

Leon, from Newbury, is a strong advocate for children learning to read before they learn to scroll.

He said: “Storytelling is my passion, whether it’s through a lens or through the written word.

“With Felicity Fire, I wanted to create a hero that young readers could root for – someone who feels ordinary but discovers she has the courage to face extraordinary challenges.

“Felicity Fire and the Forever Key is a thrilling, unmissable adventure that will leave readers eagerly awaiting the next instalment.”

Leon is offering two copies of Felicity Fire and the Forever Key, plus 20 copies of two of his audiobooks: Spidersaurus and The Tale of the Fox.
