Kiran Millwood Hargrave is an award winning poet, playwright, and author.
Her books include the bestselling winner of the British Book Awards Children's Book of the Year and the Waterstones Children's Book Prize 2017 The Girl of Ink & Stars (aka The Cartographer's Daughter), and Costa Book Awards- and Blue Peter Awards-shortlisted The Island at the End of Everything.

Kiran lives in Oxford with her husband, artist Tom de Freston, and their cat, Luna.
A beautifully written story of friendship, discovery, myths, and magic that the London Times called "reminiscent of fantasy greats such as Philip Pullman and Neil Gaiman."
Legends say that the island of Joya was once a place where songbirds sang in every tree and the islanders were free to come and go as they pleased. That was before the harsh-ruling Governor arrived, and ravens drove out the native birds. Now there are no songbirds, and the people are forbidden to travel beyond the forest that separates them from the rest of the island.
But for Isabella, the legends of her island home have always seemed like more than just stories. And when a series of mysterious events shakes the community, it’s Isabella—daughter to the island’s only mapmaker—who will lead a party of explorers into the forest in search of answers. As the group ventures deeper and deeper into the island, dark secrets begin to surface, and the legends Isabella has listened to all these years show signs of coming to life.
Debut novelist Kiran Millwood Hargrave draws on the cultural folklore of the Canary Islands in this richly told story of a girl’s quest to map her own place in a world that legends alone have shaped.

評分好看的文字讓天纔的想象力躍然紙上,創造瞭一個充滿神秘傳說、異域風情的魔法世界。再加上地圖、星象、魔法、怪獸等這些經典元素都為故事加持瞭極大的吸引力。可惜競價失敗,自己做不瞭瞭。不過還是很期待中文版能盡快齣來~
