Fireborn: Twelve and the Frozen Forest: The extraordinary first book in the thrilling new children’s fantasy series: Book 1

Product Information

Set in the snowy northern forests of a prehistoric world, Fireborn is the middle-grade debut of the decade. By turns exciting, funny and heart wrenchingly sad, it marks the introduction of an unstoppable new voice in children's storytelling. It's strange actually because I don't remember ever deciding to write fantasy in the same way I don't remember deciding I'd write middle-grade rather than YA or for adults. Both just felt like a natural fit. I did love reading fantasy as a child and when I think about what my absolute favourites were, they do tend to have magic in them. That must have stayed with me and slipped into my own writing. Zusammen sind Zwölf und Sechs ein super Team. Sie haben zuvor nie miteinander geredet doch sie haben gleich einen Draht zueinander und verfolgen das gleiche Ziel. Aber sie beide haben Geheimnisse, die ihr Verbindung auf die Probe stellen. Zwölf, Sechs, Fünf, Sieben und Hund stellen an sich eine unvergesslichen Gruppe dar, die alle Probleme überwinden können, wenn sie zusammenhalten.

With thanks for my copy and being part of this tour. As soon as this book came through my post box I devoured it. I started it straight away and it was finished before I knew it. Fantasy. Adventure. Battle. Speaking of world-building, the world-building in this book is as strong as the character development. It’s so dark and mysterious and dangerous and vividly depicted. The monsters and supernatural creatures are scary and dangerous and so well described. I also love how the story includes descriptions of each monster from A Magical Bestiary, a textbook used by Twelve. The book provides pertinent information about each creature and ranks them based on aggression, difficulty to disable, and the danger posed. It’s such a great way to provide information about unique creatures without burdening the reader with too much information at once. It also adds to the suspense because when you read that a monster has a high ranking, you automatically prepare for a lot of danger and excitement. Fireborn is a fantastic debut, deftly told with skill and originality. A richly-imagined story, bursting with thrilling magic, terrifying monsters and an epic adventure that leaves you wanting more' Catherine Doyle, author of The Storm Keeper's Island Author Luke Palmer introduces his new book, Play (Firefly Press) about four boys growing up together, the challenges, the friendships, and what hap... In this book we follow the story of four of these huntlings. Twelve, Five, Six and Seven as well as the lodge guardian Dog and Twelve’s adorable squirrel companion Widge.

Quite dark and dangerous for a middle-grade book, l Firebornwas fast paced and full of adventure!

Since the Dark War, Ember has been mostly at peace but one night after a fight breaks out between Twelve and Five which results in the two of them spending the night in the dungeons, all hell breaks loose and one of the huntlings is kidnapped by Goblins. Twelve, Five, Six and Dog team up to rescue her and from then on the book is all adventure, scary monsters, fighting and danger! The perfect balance of high adventure, breathless action and eerie wonder' Jonathan Stroud, author of the Bartimaeus Series

Three months after the destruction of the Hunting Lodge, a witch arrives from the frost palace of Icegaard, desperate for Phoenix’s help. Icegaard is in grave danger from an evil force called the Shadowseam, and if the witch-palace falls, all the clans of Ember will fall with it. There is one overall main lesson in this story and that's, it's never too late to be the person you want to become. Fully grown adults like myself can learn from that too. Astounding. An incredibly accomplished fantasy that’s not afraid of the dark side.” — Nicola Skinner, author of Starboard Die dreizehnjährige Zwölf ist zwar eine gute Kämpferin, aber auch eine einsame Außenseiterin. Sie ist zielstrebig und distanziert, und obwohl sie keine Jägerin werden möchte, hat sie Vorbilder, deren Meinungen ihr wichtig sind und die sie eigentlich gern stolz machen würde. Aber meistens sorgt sie eher für Probleme, weil sie sich mit ihren Mitschülern kaum versteht. Die schüchterne Sieben ist die einzige, die Zwölf mehr oder weniger mag, auch wenn man das noch nicht als Freundschaft bezeichnen kann, oft ist es auch eine Mischung aus Mitleid und Beschützerinstinkt.This remarkable debut pulsates with energy and drama' Daily Mail, Best Children's Books of the Year The winners of The Farshore Reading for Pleasure Teacher Awards 2023, highlighting the work schools are doing to encourage a love of reading, have... I’m sure I speak for many people when I say that I saw the cover for Fireborn and it was love at first sight. Yes, you can’t judge a book by its cover – but you can judge a cover, and Fireborn has a stunning cover that promises magic and adventure. An enchanting quest, filled with mystical creatures, talking trees and goblins galore, this is such a fast paced read. I love the found family trope and In Fireborn is done beautifully. first of all the banter and dynamics between all the characters are so entertaining. since the characters are young they have that kind of immature kids humour that’s super entertaining. i say this because if i see teenagers or adults act this way i would roll my eyes. i laugh so much at these little interactions when it happens but also on top of that the characters are really complex with their own pasts and even their names that they are forbidden to share. they lose all their identities to train to be hunters. some of the characters are not who they seem and they are a lot more than meets the eye. when i re-read this book i’ll definitely be annotating it and underlining so much of the meaningful messages.

Twelve and Frozen Forest is perfect for readers aged 8+, and while it is a middle-grade novel, I can see it capturing the hearts of YA readers and beyond. It’s in my top reads of the year, and I believe it’s the next big thing! This first novel was left open-ended, and I anticipate there will be a second instalment coming soon. If you loved Harry Potter, then you’re going to love the Fireborn series.Fireborn was one of my most anticipated reads of the year and it lived up to every single expectation I had and more! Full of adventure and magic this beautiful middle grade is such a captivating story. I can't wait for my kids to read it and they have patiently been waiting for me to finish 🤣

An utterly compelling and wildly imaginative adventure! I loved it!” —Tamzin Merchant, author of The Hatmakers Twelve has spoken the Pledge and now she is a Huntling. She has given up her name to train in the art of fighting monsters, and she won’t choose a new one until she has earned it. But when her friend is taken, Twelve sets off on a dangerous journey to rescue her. Teaming up with Dog, the stone Guardian of the Hunting Lodge, Twelve ends up on an epic adventure that will change her life, her name – and her entire world.Zwölf wird wie alle anderen Jagdlinge ausgebildet, aber eigentlich hat sie keineswegs vor, Jägerin zu werden und allen Clans zu dienen. Der Höhlenclan hat ihre Familie getötet und Zwölf will sie rächen, mit diesem Ziel vor Augen lässt sie keinen der anderen Jagdlinge an sich heran. Als dann aber Sieben entführt wird, eine der wenigen Menschen, die noch nett zu Zwölf waren, kann Zwölf nicht einfach zusehen. Sie zieht auf eigene Faust los, um Sieben zu retten, und bekommt dabei unerwartete Unterstützung. A very promising start of a series that is filled with excitement, adventure and darkness. There is so much to love: a protagonist who is strong and determined, side characters who are along for the ride are also awesome, and a constantly-moving plot. The world opens up and expands more as the book goes on. I genuinely think it's hard to get bored while reading this book, it was just non-stop. Loved this whirlwind adventure from Aisling Fowler! Imagine The Hunger Games but with magic and written for kids. A brilliant MG novel weaving fantasy, friendship, heartbreak and hope together really superbly. I have pledged my heart to Fireborn.” —Cerrie Burnell, author of Harper and the Sea of Secrets Fireborn is a fantastic debut, deftly told with skill and originality.
