The Girl, the Cat and the Navigator
The Girl, the Cat and the Navigator | Matilda Woods
3 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
An enchanting, charming story of bravery on the ice-tipped ocean. Curious, pin-bright Oona Britt dreams of setting sail with her ship's captain father for a life of excitement on the wild waves. She has read stories of a magical creature - the Nardoo - who swims through the stars at night, and stows away on whaling boat the Plucky Leopard for an adventure full of myths and marvel among the ice-caps. Bestselling author Kiran Millwood Hargrave on Matilda's first book, The Boy, the Bird and the Coffin Maker: "This luminous tale of loss, love and finding family is threaded through with the power of storytelling, and a touch of magic."

“But even with a hidden spot in the roof, attending school wasn‘t an easy task. The ship that made the village hall had sunk amid a wild storm, and everyday at eleven a monstrous gale ripped through the roof space. The wind roared so loudly that Oona could not hear a word from the classroom below until half past twelve in the afternoon. Luckily, Oona always bought a book along so she wouldn‘t get bored.”

Oooh, I absolutely adored Matilda Woods debut - The Boy, The Bird and The Coffin Maker - so I did a little happy dance in the bookshop when I discovered this the other day 😍☺️
