The Naming of Tishkin Silk (Kingdom of Silk) - Softcover

This is a special, lyrical and lovely story. It gives you a vibrant sense of the Australian countryside and, even more, it takes you inside the mind of an ordinary but most extraordinary boy, Griffin Silk. It will surely touch your heart --Berlie Doherty, double Carnegie Medal winning author

The first in the Kingdom of Silk series, The Naming of Tishkin Silk is a truly beautiful story of loss, hope, strength and love. It's written in the most evocative style from Glenda Millard. Her depictions of rural Australia are stunning; the reader can nearly feel the heat of the sun through the branches of the apple tree. It is supported by gorgeous artwork by Caroline Magerl. An emotional book, but also a splendid and unforgettable read. --Library Mice
