K2 O’Hero is a seemingly ordinary boy from a truly extraordinary family – he and his twin sister Izzabird have been sworn to keep their family’s history of magical explorers a secret. Not even their infuriating stepsiblings, Theo and Mabel, know magic exists. They believe K2 to be the most hopeless person they have ever known.
But K2 has a secret gift.
He draws maps of worlds that are beyond the wildest of imaginations. Worlds with six hundred moons, burning rivers, armoured robots and dark, twisty jungles alive with cannibal plants who hunt by the smell of fear. But what K2 doesn’t know, is that the maps he draws are real. They are worlds beyond the world we know, and the maps he draws make up an Alternative Atlas showing the exact spot where the worlds cross.
K2 and his warring siblings are going to have to use this gift to cross over into another world on a daring rescue mission to save the one thing they agree on: their baby sister Annipeck, who they all adore. And with a terrible beast and a petrifying robot assassin in their way, they must work together and learn how to be brave. The future of their family is at stake.
Which Way to Anywhere is a new, exciting, out-of-this world adventure from international bestselling author Cressida Cowell. She is bestselling The Wizard of Once and How to Train Your Dragon series and currently the Waterstones Children’s Laureate (2019-2022). BR Kids readers are huge fans of Cowell’s backlist, and I have no doubt they’re going to love this novel!
This is a story with four heroes: K2, Izzabird, Theo and Mabel. The beginning of the book asks: who will be your favourite of the four heroes? And honestly, I just can’t choose. Each of the four siblings has their own unique flare and set of strengths that complement each other. Without their individuality, they wouldn’t grow to be the awesome team they become – even if they don’t realise it at first.
I would love for the stories and dreams I’ve imagined to be brought to life, and Which Way to Anywhere allows you to imagine exactly that! It’s a novel packed with adventure and magic that takes you to another world. In the midst of the sibling’s journey, there’s an important message about familial bonds blended families. Cowell also explores the important theme of friendship within families in an interesting and unique way that will broaden the horizons of children aged 8+.
So, hold on tight for a new adventure and dare to delve deep into the other-world of Which Way to Anywhere. This book would make the perfect escape this upcoming school holidays.
