You are invited to the Soar Centre for the book launch of When the Crow Cries, the debut novel of local author Maxine Ridge.

What would you do if you found a doorway to another world?
When Robyn becomes friends with Victoria, James and Elliot they show her how to reach higher and further than she could ever imagine.
The greatest adventure of their lives.
But something darker is stirring in the other world. It’s getting harder to leave.
Breaking the barriers across time and space may be fun at first, but the key to get back is lost and they can’t get home until that moment When the Crow Cries.

Raised in the Rhondda, Maxine Ridge was a Youth Theatre member with ArtWorks, Valleys Kids. She is delighted to return to Soar Chapel, where she spent much of her childhood, to celebrate the launch of her debut novel, a fantasy adventure for teenagers that explores the boundaries of time and space, innocence and experience.

The event includes readings, an exhibition of the beautiful book illustrations, a buffet, and fantastic local band MIXALYDIA. Ticket proceeds go to charity Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research (reg. charity no. 216032).
