Description:

Abi Elphinstone has just started the brand new kids' series 'The Unmapped Chronicles'. The first of which, 'Rumblestar', sees Casper Tock stumbling across a hidden world which magically controls the weather. The idea came from a desire to get kids outside, away from screens and into nature - we talk about having that grand concept, and making it relatable to kids in a few hundred pages.


You can hear why it took her a bunch of rejections to finally realise what was wrong about her writing, also how she works writing days around travelling and being a mum, and we chat mood boards, plotting, planning and where people go wrong writing for children.
