Former Waterstones Children’s Laureate (2022-2024) and winner of the The Yoto Carnegie Medal for Writing, Joseph Coelho OBE, will this week appear at his first event in Edinburgh since making the big move from Kent to Musselburgh last month.
Joseph Coelho will appear alongside acclaimed illustrator Kate Milner at Waterstones West End, Princes St, on Wednesday 23rd October at 6pm to chat about their playful and moving tale of self-discovery, Carnegie Medal-winning The Boy Lost in the Maze.
Joseph and Kate will be in-conversation with the brilliant Vivian French.
In his verse novel, Joseph Coelho brilliantly blends Greek myth with a 21st-century quest. In Ancient Greece Theseus makes a dangerous and courageous journey to find his father, finally meeting the Minotaur in the Labyrinth. While Theo, a modern-day teenage boy, finds himself on a maze-like quest to find his own father. Each story tells of a boy becoming a man and discovering what true manhood really means.
The path to self-discovery takes Theo through 'those thin spaces where myth, magic and reality combine'. Doubts, difficulties and dangers must be faced as Theo discovers the man he will become.
This event will be followed by a Q&A and a signing and is sure to be a great night so grab your tickets now (tickets from £5 available here
or by calling 0131 226 2666).
