The Weather Weaver Paperback – March 4, 2021
by Tamsin Mori (Author)
What if you could befriend a cloud? What weather would you choose?
What if the weather matched itself to your mood, whether you wanted it to, or not?
11-year-old Stella has returned home to Shetland to spend the summer with her Grandpa, but it's nothing like she remembers. Grandpa is lost in his grief for Gran, the island is bleak and Stella feels trapped, until she encounters an old woman, Tamar, who can spin rainbows and call hurricanes. With the help of Nimbus, a feisty young storm cloud, Stella begins to learn the craft of weather weaving. But when her cloud brain-fogs Grandpa and The Haken (a sea witch) starts to close in, she realises that magic comes with big responsibilities. It will take all her heart and courage to face the coming storm...
Tamsin Mori
Tamsin had a nomadic childhood (eight different schools!), but the one place that always felt like home was Shetland, her mother’s homeland. Shetland is a collection of teeny tiny islands, so far north they struggle to fit on the map. They are overflowing with myths and legends, most of which are true. Growing up, Tamsin was happiest on the beach, whispering spells into sea shells and singing to the selkies.
At University, keen to study something magical and mysterious, Tamsin chose the human brain and completed a degree in Neuroscience. Having spent quite a long time wearing a white lab coat and goggles, and practising her mad scientist glare, she discovered that her brain was full to bursting point with imagination. To avoid a messy explosion, writing was the only option.
Tamsin now lives in Bath, but still flies home to Shetland whenever she can. If you go there in the summer, you might spot her, striding about with the wind in her hair, chasing a wild story.
