Description

A FOREWORD BY LEMN SISSAY

Tales of the Weird, the Wild and the Wonderful is the first of its kind: a dazzling collection of short stories, jam-packed with rambunctious characters on daring adventures - written exclusively by Care Leavers for children.

Discover why Franny Georgette Tinkleboom has been travelling around the world in a van that has giant mouse ears... And why Spike, the most mischievous hedgehog in Rivington Pike, keeps wandering off into the dark night... And what happens when you drink a wicked orange potion like Alicia Moonfall...

'A celebration of what it is to be a fighting spirit in a world, which prefers you to be quiet and get on' writes Lemn Sissay. 'The value is inestimable and beyond measure... Enjoy this vital work as a celebration of what it is to be young, creative and empowered'.

In 2015, Sophie Willan took her debut stand-up comedy hour On Record, based on her experiences of growing up in and out of the Care system, to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. A sell out run and critical acclaim followed, securing Sophie's place as one of the most exciting rising stars in British Comedy.

'An exceptional new talent' (The Herald )

'An exciting new force in British comedy' (London Is Funny )

'Wise, confessional and bloody funny' (The List )

In 2016 Sophie turned her focus to a group of Care Leavers in the North West of England. Together they have created a tremendously vibrant anthology inspired by their experiences and fired by their imaginations.
Sophie's work with Care Leavers across Greater Manchester has become a national talking point, establishing Sophie as one of the UK's leading ambassadors for Homeless and Care Experienced Young People.
