Set in the snowy kingdom of
Erkenwald, an adventure of a lifetime is about to begin. A kingdom that once
lived in harmony and peace is now under the Ice Queen's rule. Fear and betrayal
now thrive. That is until three unlikely heroes, and friends, decide enough is
enough…
When Eska is freed from a cursed music box she quickly joins
Flint, a brilliant inventor who has never given up the belief of magic, and his
sister Blue as they travel around Erkenwald seeking out the people who can end
the Ice Queen’s reign.
Sky Song is a charming 9-12 fiction book that was the Waterstones
Children’s Book of the Month in January and being a children’s bookseller I
just had to give it a whirl. I am so glad I did!
This book has everything you want from a fantasy novel; adventure, friendship, magic and most of all hope. Abi's fluent writing lets you envision the snows Driftlands, frozen Groaning Splinters and eerie Nevercliffs as if you are stood in front of them. It truly is a mesmerizing read.

The thing I loved most was the level of research that is evident
throughout. Anyone who has followed Abi on social media will know that when she
isn’t writing she is off exploring and that really shines through in her writing.
In a world dominated by technology, Abi’s books encourage and
tease the imagination. They are an escape and, as much as I loved it as an
adult, I can only imagine how it feels reading this as a child.
