Description
"Lightning Chase Me Home has all my favourite things: storms,
islands, myths, and family. Amber Lee Dodd writes with tenderness
and thunder, and her storytelling is a bolt of brilliance." Kiran
Millwood Hargrave
Amelia Hester McLeod is named after two of her mum's favourite
explorers. Two amazing, fearless, awesome women: Amelia Earhart
and Lady Hester Stanhope. But Amelia herself doesn't always feel
very brave or very bright. She lives on a windblown island in a
creaky old house right beneath the North Star. Her dad is sad and
silent since her mum left them, and her absent-minded grandpa suddenly
seems convinced something strange is about to happen to her.
When Amelia makes a birthday wish to be reunited with her missing
mum, a wild magic is stirred from the sea...
A novel of courage and strength, packed full of adventure
and heroics but also with warmth and heart. "Adventure, mystery and
a zap of magic - this is a warm-hearted, engaging story with a
heroine you'll love" Robin Stevens
