Usborne is publishing the second book in the series, The Wild Song Contest, in March 2024 and to celebrate, is offering packs to schools which include a set of 30 chapter samplers of Book 1: The Four Curses as well as links to author video content. 

More about the book

Beyond the gateway, in the Hidden Peaks, live the Spectaculars - magical performers, with special powers gifted from the stars. They can levitate you out of your seat with a song, make a costume that will turn you invisible and create a snowstorm with a dance. When Harper joins The Spectaculars at their travelling boarding school, she can't wait to learn all kinds of magic. But when the song of the Four Curses comes to life, and a terrifying creature threatens everything, she must use her new powers to save her school...
