| This sparkling book is truly a gem and great fun to read from start to finish. Luz is at that age where kids are trying so hard to figure out who they are in relation to their family and to the rest of the world. Soccer star Luz's whole sense of self ...more | |
"Buzzing with action, Skyriders is a heart pounding fantasy adventure that you won’t want to put down. I read into the wee hours of the morning so that I could finish it. It’s that good.

| Wow, this was a wild ride of a story. It reminded me of both BLADE RUNNER and LEGEND... Olivia Chadha creates a gritty, believable future in which climate haves clash with those who have been left on the fringes, struggling to survive. She tells the ...more | |

question:
Hi Bella, it's lovely to hear from you. I'm afraid COVID slowed me a down a bit. Most school librarians (who are usually the ones who arrange school visits) were so busy with their extra duties, they didn't have time to arrange in person school visit

“:Well, isn’t this cozy?:
Dai is grinning at me. We are packed in so tightly, I realize our shoulders and arms are touching.
:I think I owe that boat captain a favor,: he adds, a gleam of mischief in his dark eyes. :I wouldn’t mind if he decided to drive in circles over our heads for the next few hours.:
:I think your muscles would get a little cramped by then: I nod at his long legs, which he’s had to bend to fit into our hiding spot.
:The pain would be worth it,: he says, looking at me. I feel my cheeks heat up as I stare back at him. Is Dai actually flirting with me?”

“Nere, there’s a chance I will see you again,” Cam says, his dark eyes intent. “If you ever need help, get word to me through the smugglers. I’ll come.”
I can only nod, afraid to trust my voice. I must look miserable, though, because moments later, he hugs me. I bury my face in his shoulder, his arms tighten around me, and finally I feel safe.
“No matter what happens, I’ll always love you,” he whispers in my ear. I close my eyes. Do I love him back? I just know Cam is more important to me than any friend I’ve ever had. I open my eyes and raise my face to him, and then he kisses me. I realize I’ve been waiting forever for this. Cam’s lips are soft and he smells like salt water and fresh sea air. I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him back.”

“While I’ve been talking with Mariah, Dai has unfolded himself from our hiding spot. Now he floats directly in front of it, refusing to move out of my way until I meet his gaze.
His eyes are serious when I finally look at him. :Nere, just for the record, I don’t think you are an idiot, and Lena will never be my type.:”
