Product description

Haoyou is the Kite Rider – a boy with a job like no other. Following in his father’s footsteps, he is strapped to a kite and sent to fly among the clouds to listen to the spirits of the dead. But the job is risky, and there are some who do not approve of what Haoyou is doing… Then the Jade Circus offers Haoyou a chance to escape his enemies and travel across the empire, maybe even performing before Kublai Khan himself. But is the circus master leading him into even greater danger? A tale of spirits and family, prophecy and fate, this exotic tale shivers with the sights, smells and sounds of Ancient China. A tale unlike any you have ever read, to set your imagination soaring.

Geraldine McCaughrean

Geraldine McCaughrean was born and educated in Enfield, North London, the third and youngest child of a fireman and a teacher. She attended Christ Church College of Education but instead of teaching chose to work for a magazine publishing house. Her favourite assignments included the best-selling children’s partworks Storyteller and Little Storyteller. Only in 1988 did she become a full-time writer. Since then, Geraldine has established herself as one of the most exciting children’s writer’s today.

She often visits nearby schools to talk about being a writer and play story-making games, and, of course, to find out what the really important people – the readers – are thinking.

In 2004, the Great Ormond Street Hospital trustees launched the search for an author to write the sequel to J.M. Barrie’s classic children’s novel Peter Pan. Geraldine was chosen from over 200 applicants, and Peter Pan in Scarlet became a bestseller in 2006.

Geraldine and her husband John live in Berkshire and have one teenage daughter, Ailsa. In all, Geraldine has written over 140 books, mostly for children, as well as plays and poetry, and has been published in 25 languages.
