Sarah and Bronwyn of Booktopia chat to Isobelle Carmody about her incredible The Kingdom of the Lost series.
While Isobelle will be kept busy for most of April recording the Obernewtyn Chronicles audiobooks, she will be making a few appearances still, in Brunswick (Victoria) and Brisbane (Queensland).
Great news - Isobelle's second Kingdom of the Lost book, The Cloud Road is one of the finalists in the running for the Aurealis Award for Best Children's Book of 2013!
The second book in Isobelle Carmody's award-winning children's series The Kingdom of the Lost is out today (24 April 2013) in hardback format in stores around Australia.
The Children's Book Council of Australia released their award winners for 2011 today, and Isobelle has won the Younger Readers Book of the Year 2011 for The Red Wind!
This week, the CBCA (Children's Book Council of Australia) released their shortlist for the upcoming CBCA Book of the year.
For end of July / beginning of August Isobelle was kind enough to leave the springtime weather of her residence in Prague to pay a visit to her fans in New South Wales & Victoria, Australia.
Some of you already have copies - but some may not know; Isobelle's latest children's book (both written and illustrated by herself) came out this week in Australian bookstores!
