Cartwheeling in Thunderstorms by Katherine Rundell

Cartwheeling in Thunderstorms by Katherine Rundell

Even a life on the untamed plains of Africa can t prepare Wilhelmina for the wilds of an English boarding school in this gripping, magical, and heartwarming tale of resilience, friendship, and hope (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
Wilhelmina Silver s world is golden. Living half-wild on an African farm with her horse, her monkey, and her best friend, every day is beautiful. But when her home is sold and Will is sent away to boarding school in England, the world becomes impossibly difficult. Lions and hyenas are nothing compared to packs of vicious schoolgirls. Where can a girl run to in London? And will she have the courage to survive?
From the author of Rooftoppers, which Booklist called a glorious adventure, comes an utterly beautiful story that s a treasure of a book (VOYA).

Rooftoppers, Cartwheeling in Thunderstorms (a Boston Globe-Horn Book Award winner), The Wolf Wilder, The Explorer, and The Good Thieves are among Katherine Rundell's works. She was born in Zimbabwe, raised in Belgium, and now lives in Oxford as a Fellow of All Souls College. She starts each day with a cartwheel and believes that reading is nearly identical to cartwheeling in that it turns the world upside down and leaves you gasping for air. She enjoys trespassing on Oxford college rooftops and walking on tightropes in her leisure time.
