#Riverskin is a dynamic, dark and distinctive story of self-discovery, belonging and survival which flows with lyricism, a story that completely captivated me as I followed the breath-taking story of the river’s gift. bookcraic.blog/2025/08/04/rev… #MikeEdwards @WalkerBooksUK

Happy publication day to Riverskin by Mike Edwards! An atmospheric, lyrical children's fiction debut, inspired by the myths of North East England. "A bold debut and its atmosphere lingers long after the last page.” Children’s Book of the Week, The Times walker.co.uk/9781529523980/…

Mike Edwards @edwardswrite will visit Book Corner on Saturday 14th June, 11am - 12.30pm, to sign copies of his debut novel #Riverskin. I can highly recommend Mike's beautiful book. It's set in and around the River Tees, and features our very own local water spirit, Peg Powler.
