Flame Chasers cover

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?

The TimesChildren's Best Books of the Year 2024: 'Impossible Creatures was the hit that everyone was chasing last year, but this magical adventure feels like a sparky younger sibling to Katherine Rundell's bestseller. It sizzles with imagination. Every year the flamebirds crackle through the night sky like fireworks, to stop and rest in Ember's harbour town before continuing their mysterious journey west. Anyone lucky enough to touch a golden tail feather is granted their heart's desire, But the birds are fragile and greed has consequences. An exquisite story that burns brightly.'
