Sophie Kirtley grew up in Northern Ireland, where she spent her childhood climbing on hay bales, rolling down sand dunes and leaping the raw Atlantic waves. Nowadays she lives in Wiltshire with her husband, three children and their mini-menagerie of pets and wild things. Sophie has always loved stories; she has taught English and has worked in a theatre, a bookshop and a tiny pub where folk tell fairytales by candlelight. Sophie is also a prize-winning published poet and the author of middle-grade novels The Wild Way Home and The Way to Impossible Island.
‘Sophie's third book lives up to all the expectations I had after reading the gorgeous The Wild Way Home and Way to Impossible Island. Here again are characters to love and a hauntingly beautiful setting of a remote farmhouse in the Irish wilderness. This is a ghost story, a mystery, and a book about love, belonging and grief. It's ghostly and atmospheric and would have you glued to the pages till its satisfying end’ Nizrana Farook, author of The Girl Who Stole an Elephant, on The Haunting of Fortune Farm The Wild Way Home echoes Skellig and Stig of the Dump, with a bold, readable charm entirely its own … Full of peril, sadness and wild joy, it’s a timeslip adventure with a difference * Guardian on THE WILD WAY HOME * So good I read it twice * Hilary McKay on THE WILD WAY HOME * I loved this unique, quirky story full of heart * Jasbinder Bilan on THE WILD WAY HOME * A fast-paced adventure full of heart * Hannah Gold on THE WAY TO IMPOSSIBLE ISLAND * Delivers in spades. It made me laugh, cry, gasp and turn the pages for one more chapter every time I had to stop * Nizrana Farook on THE WILD WAY HOME * Dazzling storytelling * Hilary McKay on THE WAY TO IMPOSSIBLE ISLAND * Amazing and brilliant and stupendous and all the exclamations * Nizrana Farook on THE WAY TO IMPOSSIBLE ISLAND * ‘I absolutely loved The Haunting of Fortune Farm – it’s a ghost story with a thrillingly, dark Viking ‘roar’ to it, but threaded through with such beauty and heart. The setting is superbly drawn and Edie’s courageous journey ‘into’ the mountain will have you racing through the pages, but it’s also a story that carries huge emotional heft as it’s about memory and loss and learning to let go. Once again Sophie Kirtley has bought history to life in the most vivid and imaginative way possible. She’s a terrific storyteller. And everyone needs a younger brother like Pip! In the spirit of the kennings in the story I wrote these two about The Haunting of Fortune Farm; Page Turner Heart Mover Goosebump Maker Story Wonder Emotion Jangler Thought Puzzler Spine Tingler Story Sparkler’ Kate Wilkinson, author of Edie and the Box of Flits
