"The best indie children's book I've read this year..."In 1348, the Black Death ravaged England. Every town and village was touched by plague - all except one. In Lower Chegwin, everyone miraculously survived. This is the story of why. It's the story of how Ronald the Death-Bringer lost his powers, and how his daughter Myla journeyed to the end of the world to get them back, encountering witches, giants, a talking wolf and many more fabulous folk along the way. It's a story of magic, mayhem... and cows that fall from the sky.Suitable for ages 8 - 12 (and for parents who enjoy a bit of Monty Python and Blackadder...)ABOUT THE AUTHOR:CJ Ward is a writer and journalist who has contributed to the Times, the Guardian, NME, Uncut and many other publications. This is his first book for children.REVIEWS: "This is a wonderful story... I'd read more by the author, because I did enjoy the storyline and humor, and I'm a sucker for a spunky female protagonist." - Goodreads review"I know that when I was a child – as a fan of Roald Dahl and Blackadder – I would have absolutely loved this book, with its brave heroine and sarcastic narrator. And, as an adult, it’s the best indie children’s book I’ve read this year." - Evie Glass, Indie E-Book Review
