Overview

Elinor's bedroom looks ordinary. But it's not. When Elinor goes to sleep, her bedroom can fly...Elinor never knows where she'll wake up. A tropical island, in a theatre show, helping pirates, on the moon...But her bedroom will always bring her safely home. These magical adventures, charmingly illustrated by Chloe Douglass, work equally well for children to read themselves or for parents to read aloud. With pirates, a train, the moon, a theatre, a snowman and a faraway island, they will appeal to boys and girls. Who doesn't want a bedroom that can fly?

Author Biography

Heather grew up in North Wales, and local places have inspired the setting for her stories. Her books feature ordinary children to whom something magical happens – and flying is often involved. In The Flying Bedroom, Eleanor’s bedroom flies at night and takes her to different places. In Magic and the City, two boys are given a flying carpet by an out-of-work magician. Heather’s books have been broadcast on Radio 4 and translated into several languages. The Girl with the Broken Wing was one of Richard and Judy’s ‘Best Children’s Books Ever’ in 2007, and The Boy in the Biscuit Tin was nominated for the Galaxy Best British Children’s Book Award in 2008. Heather teaches creative writing for the University of the Creative Arts, is a Royal Literary Fund Consultant Fellow, and delivers workshops in writing and creative thinking for academics.
