About the event
Join wielder of words and writer of revolutions Claire Mabey at Te Matapihi ki te Ao Nui for this celebration of her new book The Raven’s Eye Rebellion. Come along to meet the author, hear her weave a story from the pages of her new book, ask her your burning questions, and pick up a copy while you’re at it. You could even get it signed!
When writing was first invented several thousand years ago, many regarded it as a form of magic. Claire’s words call this magic to life in a world of fantasy, books, intrigue, one-eyed ravens, and trees that sleep (or don’t). Will you be susceptible to her spell?
This offsite event, hosted at Te Matapihi ki te Ao Nui, is suitable for readers aged 8-15, or anyone keen for a good fantasy read. Rangatahi under the age of 14 must be accompanied by a caregiver.
2pm, 16th April. Offsite book launch at Te Matapihi ki te Ao Nui. All welcome!
