Making Mythical Creatures with Julie Pike

We had a great visit from fabulous Middle-Grade author and friend to The Rocketship, Julie Pike, recently as she hosted a Children’s Story Workshop for a sold out crowd at the shop. In this workshop, Julie helped the children invent their very own fantastically mythical creature, and you can see some of the incredible creatures the children invented below. A huge thank you to Julie and everyone who came along to the workshop.

Julie is the author of the fabulous fantasy adventure novel, Flame Chasers which was published earlier this year. This novel has been a big hit with our customers, and thanks to Julie we have signed copies at The Rocketship which you can order right here – Flame Chasers. 

About Flame Chasers – 

All Ember wants is to fly with the golden flamebirds who stop every year at Bright Beacon before heading west across the seas to their mysterious home. Their fiery arrival is also the signal for the waiting Flame Chasers in the harbour below to prepare to follow the birds, whose glowing tail feathers grant the finder a wish. But when Pa tells Ember he is chasing without her, she is devastated.

Can she find a ship’s captain to help her save her father, and the flamebirds secret home?
