In My Mailbox This Week

I have just received a gorgeous book from Ford Street Publishing. In The Beech Forest has text by well-known YA writer Gary Crew, but the art, which is far more than just illustration, is by Den Scheer, a young woman barely out of high school who has a wonderful career ahead of her. Lucky Ford Street, being her first publisher! I'll be doing a review shortly, both for this blog and January Magazine. Watch this space. Tonight's guest post is by Satima Flavell.
