White Tower

Review 'Richly atmospheric and a winning combination of science, fantasy and raw emotion, Livy's journey through bereavement and grief is paralleled in her quest to solve a historic conundrum and find resolution and acceptance.' BOOKTRUST 'Chicken House say the story is ethereal - dreamy - heart-rending; it's all those things as it whisks the reader off into what, at times, almost seems another world.' PARENTS IN TOUCH 'Constable's debut, The Wolf Princess, was a magically wintry Russia-set fable. The White Tower, despite its contemporary setting, has a similarly timeless air. Themes of friendship and loneliness, flight and gravity, science and magic, combine in a highly imaginative tal, which seems rather to have run away with its creator.'
