Sam Bartram, Author: “When writing Finny’s Star, my intention was to create a story that the whole family could enjoy together. Finny’s Star is a classic adventure story, with a cast of eccentric and larger-than-life characters. It is also very much a study in friendship and the important role that friends play in our lives. I am very excited and proud to have finally realised the ambition of a lifetime in writing this book”
