A Barbie-themed young adult fantasy adventure written by the author of 'Lightlark'?? 🤯

'Barbie: Dreamscape' is a richly imagined coming-of-age tale from the premier voice in teen fiction, this is a story about defying expectations, rewriting the rules, and discovering that the greatest possibilities lie in stepping out of the box …and into the unexpected. 🗡️

I dropped in to see my friends in Schrödinger's Books today. They won Bookshop of the Year recently - good on them, and rightly so, it's an amazing shop! Not least because they've got my book 'Ernest Rutherford and the Birth of Modern Physics' in stock - along with a LOT of great titles by Kiwi and international authors. Go check 'em out. I'll be giving a talk in store late October about my next book, more on that soon.
