Elizabeth Foster's new YA novel

November 6, 2017

Congrats to Elizabeth Foster on the publication of

Esme's Wish

Published by Odyssey Books, in paperback

for younger teens.

A light fantasy novel with an intriguing mystery at its heart, focusing on the unique bond between mother and child. Themes include loyalty, friendship and coming of age.

Elizabeth would like to thank SCBWI Sydney members for their support in the push towards publication of Esme's Wish, which was launched on October 30th to a very positive reception.

Sounds great - congrats again Elizabeth!
