NEWS FLASH⚡️They raced around the world in eighty days, but now a new adventure is calling! This October, get ready to join Maggie and the crew as they set sail once more, this time to South America! With the help of old and new friends, Maggie must embark on a daring new voyage across continents, but this time there’s much more at stake than a wager.

I’m absolutely thrilled to be setting off on another rip-roaring adventure with @piccadilly.press, the genius of @tomclohosycole and best of all you, my fellow explorer!

Starting right now, you can click the link in my bio to pre-order your copy and get ready for the journey of a lifetime! 🗺️🇧🇷🤗

I had an absolutely brilliant time at the Bury St Edmunds Literary Festival on Sunday. So much fun, in fact, that I only took one picture! Huge thanks to the incredible legend @mskatesawyer as well as Amy from @waterstonescambridge and Lottie from @waterstonesarcbse for their brilliant book love! Thanks to all the young readers, and the young at heart, who came to spend the morning talking about adventure - it was an absolute joy! 🤗📚❤️

Putting wonderful books in the hands of excited young readers absolutely fills my heart with joy! 🤩 Some gorgeous moments yesterday watching children get signed copies of books they were eager to read, seeing little happy jumps of joy when parents said yes you can get the book and watching little groups of friends buzzing they had the same book to read! Making reading rock for every child is what I’m here for! 💕💕💕 by @natharrisonauthor

I cannot believe an entire year has gone by since one of the best days of my life! This time last year we launched The Girl Who Raced the World - my absolute dream come true. After 12 months of touring the country (and beyond!) speaking to readers of all ages and visiting amazing bookshops, I’m still pinching myself. But get ready because book two of Maggie’s adventures is coming right up!!🇧🇷🦜🤗
