March 2023 Debut of the Month

Jodie Garnish’s The Spectaculars is certainly a spectacular debut. Colourful and characterful, with a fabulously evoked world of theatrical magic, and the perennial appeal of a boarding school setting, this is perfect for 9+-year-olds who adore visual adventure stories and drama, of both the literary and performative kind.

According to the Minister, “who isn’t so keen on people who are different”, Spectaculars, (beings with unique performance abilities from the stars) are on the rise throughout the Sunless Provinces and have been deemed a Grade Six Dangerous Species. In this perilous climate, Harper becomes an apprentice at the Spectaculars’ boarding school and Grand Wondria Music Hall and Theatre, which travels the Hidden Peaks, a realm that’s long been a refuge for magical people. But, with a menacing villain on the prowl, Wondria is very much under threat.

Teeming with theatrical atmosphere, the magic of friendship, and lashings of courage, this is an immersive, energetic adventure.
