Into the Arctic by Matthew Long
During a seemingly normal family trip to the beach, Oliver becomes bored. He decides to get an ice cream, but as he reaches in to grab his favorite flavour, he falls... into an enchanting icy wonderland. Together with his new Arctic animal friends, Oliver explores this magical depiction of the frozen North. A refreshing story that begins and ends on a hot summer day but in between transports readers to an icy wonderland.
They say to “write what you know”, so as Matthew Long spends a lot of time accidentally falling into new worlds and riding walruses, trying to find a way home, he writes about things like that. When Matthew is not on make-believe adventures, he goes on real ones: travelling the world; working with children; fixing up an old Victorian terrace in Cambridgeshire; and relaxing in his cottage garden. Matthew has a degree in Film, obtained in Cornwall, England. He has also lived for some time in Norway. Both locations helped shape the worlds in which his characters live. Marlene Gerlyng wanted to be an illustrator from an early age when she read folktales while growing up in Norway. She moved to England, gaining a BA in Illustration at Falmouth University College. She taught art at foundation level in Norway and ran art courses for young children. Following this, Marlene gained an MA in Children’s Book Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art. When not creating worlds for people to experience in books, Marlene enjoys restoring and upcycling old trinkets and shaping her cottage garden.
