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 ?

House of Books and Friends cannot wait to host Lisa Ownes on Wednesday 1st July to discuss her new title ‘Natural Disaster'. 🐍🔥

The evening will begin at 6pm, and involve a discussion, a Q&A, and a chance to get your book signed by Lisa. Lisa will be in conversation with our bookseller, Lily.

About the book

For weeks, she has been saying it will be their special day. One last, perfect day with her children before she returns to work after maternity leave. What’s the worst that can happen?

Unfolding across 24 hours, Natural Disaster is a novel about the absurd, frustrating, hilarious, precarious, bittersweet, sometimes astonishing challenge – literal, existential – of being a woman, a mother, a wife, a person for one single, entire day.

Get tickets via the link in our bio! 🎟

June 15th - 21st 2026 is a week dedicated to loneliness awareness. Loneliness is something we all experience and by taking part you can create space for more open conversations and meaningful connections. 
2026 marks 10 years of the campaign, and this year’s theme is Giving Loneliness a Voice. By sharing real, human stories of loneliness – and the wonderful power of understanding and connection – together we can make people experiencing loneliness feel less alone.
Here are some fiction and non-fiction recommendations that we feel gives loneliness a voice and fosters empathy for those struggling to form connections.
