A beautiful and heart-wrenching middle grade debut full of love, healing, friendship and hope. Perfect for fans of Jacqueline Wilson, Cathy Cassidy, Pax and Gill Lewis.
When eleven-year-old Addie is taken into foster-care, she is taken from her inner city tower block and placed on a remote Exmoor farm in the midst of a very snowy winter. She is full of hurt, anger and a deep mistrust of adults and her unfamiliar new surroundings. But one day, Addie discovers and rescues a tiny wild foal from the moorland snow which brings a journey of healing, adventure and unexpected friendship. Until the only question that remains is whether either of them will ever know what it is to be home again . . .
S.F. Bailey divides her time between writing, freelance social-work, and lecturing in Creative Writing at Bath Spa University, where she also studied. S. F. Bailey wrote Snow Foal during her time at the same university where she drew much inspiration from her tutor, award-winning David Almond. Snow Foal has already been shortlisted for the Joan Aitken Future Classics Prize.
