Summary
A magical wintry story filled with adventure, wonder and edge-of-your-seat excitement, this is the perfect listen for fans of Michelle Harrison, Piers Torday and Emma Carroll.
‘Once an adventure digs its claws in, there is not an awful lot you can do about it. Especially when magic is involved . . .’
In the snowy kingdom of Erkenwald, whales glide between icebergs, wolves hunt on the tundra and polar bears roam the glaciers. But the people of this land aren’t so easy to find - because Erkenwald is ruled by an evil Ice Queen and the tribes must stay hidden or risk becoming her prisoners at Winterfang Palace.
Join Eska, a girl who breaks free from a cursed music box, and Flint, a boy whose inventions could change the fate of Erkenwald forever, as they journey to the Never Cliffs and beyond in search of an ancient, almost forgotten, song with the power to force the Ice Queen back.
This is a story about an eagle huntress, an inventor and an organ made of icicles. But it is also a story about belonging, even at the very edges of our world . . .

Good Story but…
Magic, mystery, faith, friendship, challenges, battles… Sky Song is a good story, but it never truly captivated me.
I never really engaged with the characters, or their plot - it was all just a little too predictable.
Maybe the ‘Ice Queen’ thing has just been done too much or maybe the story wasn’t for me.
It’s not poorly written - and I loved the inclusion of a Down Syndrome character.
Perhaps I am too far from the target audience.

Fabulous adventure
Wonderful characters.
A female protagonist (whoop)!
Beautifully read with a warm voice, lots of expression and changes of voice for different characters.
The first thing my daughter said when we finished it was “now that’s one I really want to listen to again”! Epic! I feel the same as my daughter. Highly recommend.

An amazing book, wild, untamed, and beautiful.
I loved every second of it-from the beautiful grandeur of the silent, frozen landscape of the north, to the loving, brave and sometimes annoying Blue. Like all of Abi Elphinstone's books, it is all about friendship, courage, and a little bit of magic.

Narnia and the Snow Queen
It is difficult not to draw comparisons with the CS Lewis stories but very enjoyable nonetheless. Super performance by the narrator.

Thank you to Abi Elphinstone for her deep radiant imagination.
Thank you to Nicky Diss for her voice and joyful, sadness and tenderness.
