Author Evening
with Liz Hyder
Wednesday 19 March, 7pm
The Lord Nelson, Brigg
We are thrilled to welcome Liz Hyder back to Brigg!
​
After being thwarted by Storm Bert with rain, wind and landslides in November, we’re thrilled that Liz has managed to arrange another date with us.
​
After a busy day in schools, Liz will be chatting about her new Young Adult fiction title, The Twelve.​ Described as hauntingly beautiful, it interweaves with ancient folklore, and we love it! Ideal for readers 12 +, as well as teachers and anyone with an interest in YA Fiction
​
Winner of the Nero Children’s Fiction Award, The Twelve, illustrated beautifully by Thomas de Freston, is riding high and we feel very lucky to have Liz here.
If you want your teen to get back into reading, bring them to meet Liz, who is wonderfully funny and inspiring.
Join us for a cozy evening in the Lord Nelson, in Brigg, where Liz will be happy to chat about The Twelve and her other brilliant books.

About The Twelve
"We are the echo in the cave, the footsteps that follow you in the dark, the shadows in the trees.
We are fur and feather, bark and bone. We are light and dark. Earth and sky. Sun and moon. We are as one…"
​
It's supposed to be a treat for Kit, a winter holiday by the coast with her sister Libby and their mum. But as the solstice moon rises high in the sky, Kit and Libby are drawn to a mysterious white tower, only to face disaster when Libby vanishes. The world has rewritten itself, leaving Kit to navigate a reality where her sister has never existed. Even their mum doesn't remember her.
​
But then Kit meets Story, a local boy who remembers Libby perfectly. He teams up with Kit and together they embark on a perilous journey fraught with dangers beyond their wildest imagination, crossing a world steeped in ancient folklore. Can Kit and Story uncover the secret of the Twelve and rescue Libby before Time itself vanishes?
