Ice Apprentices – Physical and digital packs

Ice Apprentices – Physical and digital packs

A frozen world, mighty monsters and spellbinding magic. Journey to the very edge of the world in this BREATHTAKING fantasy trilogy. 
Perfect for fans of Skandar and Philip Pullman . . .

“The Ice Apprentices is an extraordinary fantasy debut.” A.F. Steadman, author of the Skandar series

 ‘Spine-tingling monsters, unlikely friendships and a hero to root for from page one. North's debut is bursting with adventure and vivid characterisation.’ Fran Gibbons, author of A Clock of Stars
 
Tundra is the last settlement in a world of ice. Oswin Fields is its only stray, rescued from the Endless Expanse. So, when he's summoned to the school for ice apprentices, he sets out to prove his worth.
But all isn’t as it seems in this enchanted place. When the beasts begin to strike, Oswin has to risk everything he holds dear. Can he look deep within himself to find the strength to prove that he belongs?

To celebrate the publication of this icy, epic adventure, Simon & Schuster Childrens Books are offering 30 lucky libraries the chance to receive a wonderful combination of digital and physical Ice Apprentices resources.

Each pack will include:

  • 1x Reading copy of Ice Apprentices
  • 1x Ice Apprentices poster
  • 30 x Ice Apprentices bookmarks
  • 3 x Ice Apprentices sticker sheets
  • Sneak peek extract - downloadable PDF
  • Discussion notes and teaching resources – downloadable PDF
  • Activity pack – downloadable PDF
  • A selection of social media assets - downloadable

This is one pack per public library. If you are ordering more than one pack (to disperse to other libraries in your region) you need to also email Kimberley.Sheehan@readingagency.org.uk to notify her of the individual library names that the packs will be used at. Alternatively, you can do individual orders for each library in the shop.

You can order the packs until 17 January but they may sell out before this date. The packs will then be with you in early February.

Please note, if you order a pack you are agreeing to use the materials within your library and to share photos of the group using them on social media using #IceApprentices and tagging @SimonKidsUk, @jacobnorthauthor and @readingagency. You will also send feedback of how you used the provided materials by 24 March 2025.  Please do not order the pack if you cannot commit to this. If you do not provide feedback then this may affect your orders in the future.
