Asha and the Spirit Bird
by Jasbinder Bilan
With the family farm about to be taken and her father missing, Asha walks into the Himalayas to find him, guided by a bird she believes is her grandmother.
A story about children and animals, adventurous and epic in tone. We would put it with children of 9–12, and at a reading age of about 10 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
