Cornelia Funke

Until now, possibly best known in the UK for her Inkheart series, Cornelia Funke is a powerfully magical, award winning storyteller who has many books all brimming with rich fantasy and adventure   and perfect for readers 8 and older.

Her latest book, due to be published globally on 15 September, is an extraordinary fantasy thriller, set between two worlds linked by a mirror, called Reckless.


In it our world and a dark fairytale place, where modern technology has disastrously mixed with magic, resulting in war and corruption become entangled and both are put at risk. It is original and utterly compelling and we do urge any child of 11+ (and even adults) to experience the storytelling power of Cornelia Funke.

You can also discover more of her stories to enchant you.
