Description

Take flight to save the secret city in the sky, in the heart-stopping finale to the soaring Starminster trilogy.

London Overhead, the secret city hidden in the stars, is the only place where Astrid has ever felt at home. But when the enchantments protecting the city mysteriously start to glitch, everyone who lives there is plunged into danger.

As the grown-ups abandon the city, Astrid refuses to give up her wings and go back to her old life on the ground.

It’s up to Astrid and her friends to save their home, but they’ll have to unravel the darkest secrets of London Overhead, before time runs out, and the magic is gone forever ?

Think Poetry isn't for you? Think again 👀

Most of us have grown up with poetry without even realising it, from nursery rhymes as kids to the lyrics we stream on repeat today.

Ever heard a song lyric that hit you right in the chest or made you feel completely understood? That’s poetry.

Manchester-based publisher Carcanet has something for every reader, whether you love contemporary voices like Sophie Hannah or want to dive into classics like Dante’s Inferno. Poetry might just surprise you.

NEXT WEEK 🎉

Ella Willis joins us on Wednesday 3rd June at 6pm to discuss their new book 'LITERALLY: A Joyful Guide to the Ups and Downs of Being Autistic'. Our bookseller Leah will be in conversation with Ella, and this is what she has to say of the book:
'What a breath of fresh air to read an account of neurodiversity that feels more like chatting to a friend than reading a medical webpage. Ella is funny, honest, and creative in their writing, and I can't wait to talk with them!'
Tickets are still available on our website or in-store now 💛💙

Don't forget we are hosting a Lunchtime Lecture with Chris Moss on 5th June, discussing his book 'Lancashire: Exploring the historic county that made the modern world.' 

Chris will be specifically discussing Manchester, it's identity within Lancashire and eventually 'Greater Manchester' in 1974. This is a great talk for those interested in local history, as well as the wider context that makes our industrial city so important to British historians. Tickets available on our website or in-store 🏙️
