The Company of Eight
Author: Harriet Whitehorn
llustrator: Maria Surducan
To start with, the cover of this book is gorgeous! I find selecting a book so tricky; a cover like this was an instant head turner. Maria Surducan has illustrated it to perfection. The end papers are printed onto the book cover and depict a map of The Longest World, the imaginary world created by Harriet Whitehorn for the setting of this adventure. I am a sucker for a map, so if the front cover didn’t persuade me then the maps inside had me completely sold. The little flourish that heralded each new chapter was lovely, too.
