“The landscape around West Cork has always seemed so ancient and magical to me and because I’ve always been a huge daydreamer, I’ve spent a lot of time dreaming about what kind of magical stories are just waiting in the land.” Susan Cahill.

Pupils will love hearing about finding inspiration in myth, folklore and rain – and letting go of your demons!

This haunting fantasy thriller opens in the week before Halloween, when Marina is about to turn thirteen. Her father died a year earlier. Her mother has strangely fallen asleep and no-one can wake her. Marina vanishes to a mysterious world of gods and demons just when her family needs her most…

Susan Cahill has been obsessed with stories from a young age. The World Between The Rain is her debut novel for children.
