An exciting new middle-grade historical adventure from
the bestselling author of Darwin's Dragons.
London, 1666
When fire breaks out, eleven-year-old Gil is separated from his
family in the chaos. One of his few remaining possessions is a
mysterious ball of rock that fell from the sky.
As he races to beat the inferno spreading across the city, neither
he, nor his new friend Jennet, has any idea that the stone in
his satchel is an unhatched bird of myth and fire. And that there
are some who will stop at nothing to get their hands on a legendary
phoenix . . .
The fourth middle-grade historical adventure by hugely
successful and critically acclaimed Lindsay Galvin.
A unique spin on the infamous tragedy with Galvin’s
original mix of mythology, history and science.
The Great Fire of London is a favourite National Curriculum
teaching topic.
A touching animal friendship at the heart of the story.
