  1. Gill Hart Chair of New Cross People's Library says

    Hi Alex
    From the little I know of you I think you’re probably bonkers enough to take me up on the offer of a splendid slice of cake and a cuppa tea ( also splendid). I have listened to your videos and I’ll be damned if I know what you’re going on about but there again I’m 59 years old and into the genre of detective novels in a big way. The thing about you that I like the most Alex is your reading and I know if I was a lot lot younger I would be encouraged to read your stories, a lot more than I would those unmentionable series of over long middle class clap trap stories about a boy on a broom-stick. Now the whole point of this email is basically introduce you to the New Cross People’s Library and then to invite you to read at our Tea Party on September 17th at 5pm. Now, I happen to know that you are doing the BookFest in Lewisham the week before and no doubt a very busy person but if you think you could spare an hour on Saturday 17th after 5pm then please come and join us. We so desparately need to keep a library in New Cross, which Lewisham Council closed on 28th May but through some pretty hard struggles we have been given a 6 week licence to prove that the people of New Cross want a library that will now be run by the people of New Cross. We are right next to New Cross Gate station so it would mean just a quick journey on the Overground and back and it could make such a difference having someone as sparky as yourself to boast is attending. Look forward to hearing from you.
    Gill (Hart) volunteer and chair of New Cross People’s Library

Big Sky Mountain

By Alex Milway

Welcome to Big Sky Mountain: a home for everyone!

Rosa has come from the city to live with Grandma Nan in the wilds of Big Sky Mountain. And what surprises are in store for her! Grandma Nan is not exactly an ordinary grandma, and Big Sky Mountain is like nowhere Rosa has dreamed about before. Grandma Nan lives in an old wooden cabin with Albert the moose and Little Pig the pygmy owl, and spends every day out on adventures. From canoeing down rapids to making friends with the local animals, life never stays still for long on Big Sky Mountain!

An exhilarating new series set in the great outdoors, from HOTEL FLAMINGO author Alex Milway.

An excellent early reader book for children aged 4-8

Funny and charming; Alex Milway has made me want to fly right into Big Sky Mountain myself. – Andy Shepherd, author of The Boy Who Grew Dragons

I want to go to Big Sky Mountain! It’s the rugged wilderness, but much softened by a comfy bear who’s a travelling salesman, a moody architect hare and some busy builder beavers who still have to learn about how to get along with the rest of the community. – Sarah McIntyre, illustrator of Pugs of the Frozen North

This is a perfect, big-hearted adventure story, with pictures and laughs on every page and an environmental message delivered with the lightest touch. Once you have met the wonderful cast of talking animals, warmed to Nan’s peculiar ways and found your feet in the wilderness, like Rosa you’ll never want to leave Big Sky Mountain. – Clara Vulliamy

As a HUGE fan of feisty grandmothers I LOVED Grandma Nan in Big Sky Mountain! Wise, capable and fearless, she is the perfect role model for her granddaughter Rosa. A wild adventure with an important message, bravo! – Sophy Henn, author and illustrator of Bad Nana

The perfect adventure to rewild young readers – Benji Davies, author and illustrator of Grandad’s Island
