The Firework-Maker's Daughter

  • Philip Pullman

  • Peter Bailey (Illustrator)

  • Paperback
  • Hive Waterstones Amazon

From the author the His Dark Materials trilogy and La Belle Sauvage.

Featuring wonderful new illustrations from Peter Bailey this beautiful fairytale is perfect for readers young and old.

Lila doesn't just want to be a Firework-Maker's daughter, she wants to be a Firework Maker herself. But although she's learned a lot she still must get through the most difficult and dangerous part of her apprenticeship - and her father won't tell her what it is.

In search of this final Firework-Making secret, Lila heads off alone on a journey. It is a journey filled with dangers beyond anything she could have imagined, a journey on which she will learn so much more than the one secret she set out to find . . .
