Exciting competition for Michael Scott’s Irish and Northern Irish fans
Random House Children’s Books (RHCB) and Children’s Books Ireland (CBI) have teamed up to create an exciting competition for young people in Ireland and Northern Ireland.
Kids are challenged to draw their own alternative front cover design for THE MAGICIAN by Michael Scott. The second book in Scott’s bestselling series, it contains amazing set-pieces and action scenes all of which are open for interpretation by young people.
The winning entry will receive signed books and a wooden art chest, while the school of the winning entry will receive €500 of RHCB books.
Georgia Lawe, Deputy Publicity Director, at RHCB comments: “We find that competitions or challenges which engage young people and ask for their input and creativity are very effective. The Magician is the perfect book to spark young people’s imaginations because it’s rich with characters, strange creatures, fantasy settings and big action scenes. We’re delighted to be working with Children’s Books Ireland, they’re such a dynamic and well regarded organisation.”
See www.childrensbooksireland.ie for more information.
An authority on mythology and folklore, Michael Scott is one of Ireland’s most successful authors. A master of fantasy, science fiction, horror and folklore, he has been hailed by the Irish Times as ‘the King of Fantasy in these isles’. He lives and writes in Dublin.
