SIDELIGHTS
[open new (partly)]Kieran Larwood is a British author of fantasy and mystery stories for middle graders. Born in Kenya, he moved to Great Britain at age one and lived in Norwich, England, and Wales before growing up alongside brothers on the Isle of Wight from age eight onward. He became interested in writing and storytelling upon discovering J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic novel The Hobbit at age six. He studied English at Southampton University, and he also attended the Falmouth College of Art for a year. His first fictional work earned first prize in the London Times‘s Children’s Fiction Competition before being published as Freaks. Having returned to the Isle of Wight, Larwood worked there as a reception (kindergarten) teacher until winning the Blue Peter Award in 2017, for Podkin One-Ear, which permitted him to focus full-time on writing.[suspend new]
Set in Victorian-era London, when social conventions were far cruder, Freaks introduces a group of sideshow performers whose members use their unique powers and physical characteristics to fight crime in the dark corners of the city. Central among them is Sheba the Wolf Girl, a hirsute young woman with the muzzle and claws of an animal, a keen sense of smell, and a kindly and compassionate nature. Monkey Boy also has animalistic traits: he is a fast and agile climber and can create debilitating stink bombs from his own waste. Sister Moon, a ninja-like fighter, has the ability to move, react, and perceive the world at incredible speed, while Mama Rat controls her group of trained, intelligent rodents. The largest among them, Gigantus is a physical giant with incredible strength and endurance. Shortly after their troupe arrives in London, led by a vile new owner, Sheba and her freak-show friends discover that the children of the trash-pickers working near the mud flats of the River Thames have been disappearing. With their wits and enhanced abilities to guide them, the group decides to discover where these children have been taken and who or what is doing the taking. Soon, they are embroiled in a dangerous situation that threatens not only their friendships and livelihoods, but also their lives.
Liz Sundermann, reviewing Freaks in the Voice of Youth Advocates, praised Larwood’s depiction of his unusual characters, noting that individuals “who, at first, seem reviling or frightening, end up being portrayed as complex and wholly human.” The story “emphasizes solidarity, loyalty, and each character’s special gifts,” wrote Horn Book critic Deirdre F. Baker, and a Publishers Weekly reviewer maintained that the “weird and serious sides of the story balance each other nicely.” A Kirkus Reviews contributor predicted of Freaks that, “peppered by gentle gross-out humor,” Larwood’s “mystery … will appeal to young steampunk fans.” [resume new]Larwood gave his debut novel a freshening up—with new characters and scenes and, in his own opinion, better writing—as Carnival of the Lost, kicking off his “Carnival” series.[suspend new]
Larwood first published Podkin One-Ear in 2016, starting the “Five Realms” animal fantasy series. The mutant, part-iron rabbit clan, the Gorm, invade Munbury Warren in search of the magical Starclaw knife. Podkin’s father, the chief, is killed and his mother is abducted, but he manages to flee with his siblings and the Starclaw, losing an ear in the process. An all-knowing, ancient rabbit seer takes them in and aids the refugees. Now chief, Podkin must come into his own and lead his people against the threat of the Gorm.
In an interview in Mr. Ripleys Enchanted Books, Larwood talked with Vincent Ripley about how he came to write Podkin One-Ear. Larwood explained that his most favorite description of the book “is ‘Watership Down meets Game of Thrones‘.” Larwood also described the process of creating the titular character. “I wanted to explore how legends are made, and what the real people (or rabbits) would be like. So Podkin begins as a spoilt, lazy character who has to grow up very quickly. I also wanted children to be able to identify with him, so he often feels very frightened and vulnerable, but manages to overcome it when he needs to.”
Larwood also talked about the book in an interview in the World Outside the Window website. In discussing the origins for the story world, Larwood recalled: “I had an idea of the type of story I wanted to write, and I knew I wanted it to be a fantasy, as that’s my favourite genre. The idea for the rabbit world came from doodles of armoured rabbits I had been doing for years. I saw some when flicking through my old sketchbooks and thought it would be something fun to develop.” In the same interview, Larwood also shared his experiences in working with illustrator David Wyatt. He mentioned that “David has an amazing ability to draw images which are exactly the same as the pictures in my head when I am writing. He reads the book and sends through some roughs, which I can comment on if needed. But they are so incredible, I hardly ever have to suggest anything more than the tiniest tweaks.”
A contributor to Kirkus Reviews found it to be “an original fantasy with warrior rabbits, fierce foes, sibling loyalty, riveting adventure, and genuine storytelling.” Writing in School Library Journal, Sharon Rawlins insisted that “adventure-seeking fantasy lovers, especially ‘Redwall’ fans, will enjoy this nicely illustrated tale of rabbits fighting oppression and succeeding despite great odds.” Reviewing the book in School Librarian, Rachel Clarke reasoned that “this is a story for children who enjoy fantasy, quests (and of course rabbits).” Clarke mentioned that “ Podkin One-Ear is a text that would read aloud well. The chapters are short and have frequent cliff-hangers.”
In 2018 Larwood published a sequel, The Gift of Dark Hollow. Full of doubts that he can defeat the Gorm, Podkin uncovers the Moonfyre, a sacred gift from the Dark Hollows. With its power, he can transport himself across the shadows cast by the moonlight. He then goes searching for a mystical hammer that can forge arrows capable of killing the Gorm. The story is framed by Podkin’s brother Pook recounting the adventure to an apprentice on the way to a gathering of bards. A contributor to Kirkus Reviews noticed that “the narrative device of a story within a story perfectly fits this tale,” lending “depth and drama.” The reviewer concluded that “great storytelling continues in this latest Longburrow adventure.”
[re-resume new]The next “Five Realms” book is The Beasts of Grimheart, which finds an elderly Pook now trying to stave off assassins by telling the story of the Battle of Sparrowfast. That battle came about when Podkin, Pook, and their sister Paz left Dark Hollow to visit their uncle at Sparrowfast Warren, hoping for the use of his magical bow. When trouble forces them to flee into Grimheart Forest, they will need help from giant rabbit forest guardians and a magical horned crown, as well as derring-do from Podkin. A Kirkus Reviews contributor hailed this novel’s “gripping plot,” with tension maintained through both Pook’s “precarious storytelling dilemma” and his “dynamic personal recollection of the climactic battle.” With The Beasts of Grimheart bringing closure to the events of the series’ first three books, the reviewer deemed it a “storytelling tour de force culminating in a rousing series finale.”
About the “Five Realms” character of the bard, Larwood once told the Reading Realm: “The bard is based on my time as a Reception teacher, when I tried to read the children as many stories as I could. I try to get across the magic of storytelling, and all the incredible things it can do.”[close new]

Awards
Blue Peter Book Award Best Book winner (2017) : The Legend of Podkin One-Ear
Kieran Larwood was born in Kenya. He moved to the UK when he was 2 and lived in various places before settling on the Isle of Wight, where he can still be found: exploring rockpools, climbing trees and writing - slowly disappearing behind a mountain of notebooks and empty coffee mugs. He taught Reception class in a primary school for fifteen years before becoming a full-time author. Kieran's books have won several awards, including the Blue Peter Best Story and the Prix Sorcières. He is inspired by a life-long love of fantasy stories, which all began when - as a young boy - he picked up a copy of The Hobbit and saw the map inside. It just goes to show - you never know where opening a book will lead.

Kieran Larwood shares his top secrets to help you with your character development
Coming up with original characters can be one of the hardest parts in creating a story. Making a reader connect with them and want to follow their journey's is even harder! Kieran Larwood share's with us his top tips on how you can create original characters and develop them to keep a reader engaged, check them out:
• Change the first thing that pops into your head. You probably have an idea of the world you’re writing about, and you probably have an idea of your main character – but you can make them more interesting and exciting if you switch them around a bit. Change their gender, make them younger, take away the powers you thought of giving them… it will make it more challenging and interesting to write about them, which often makes for a better story.
• Think about the journey they are taking. If you want them to be brave and heroic, make sure they start out as the opposite, so the story is about them having to change. I often draw out a map before I write that shows how the character will grow throughout the story. And also do the same for your background characters.
• Give your characters problems to deal with. If you’re writing about someone with a power or ability, make sure they have weaknesses as well, or that their strengths require lots of thinking and cleverness for them to be used well. I find it very boring to read about heroes who are so amazing, they never have to struggle. The reader needs to feel that there is a very real danger of your characters failing to make the story exciting.

Published: Sunday 13th February 2022 at 3:20pm
Kieran was born in Kenya, but only lived there for a year before moving to the UK. He lived in Norwich and Wales, before finally ending up on the Isle of Wight when he was eight. He still lives there now, although he did escape for several years. Kieran even lived in London for a while.
Kieran worked as a Reception class teacher at a small primary school, but his passion was always writing stories– although a heavy workload and young family meant that he only had an hour or so, in between planning for school and collapsing into bed, to do it. A few years ago he started writing a story about a group of Victorian sideshow freaks and, after several rejections and lots of rewrites, he entered it into the Times/Chicken House competition for 2011. Somehow it won.
Kieran is the author for the Podkin stories, Podkin One-Ear, The Gift of the Dark Hollow and The Beasts of Grimheart. Podkin One-Ear won the Blue Peter Book Award in 2017.

Find out more about Kieran Larwood here!
Firstly, congratulations on the news that The Five Realms series will be developed into a show for television! How does this feel? How involved in the process will you be?
Thank you! It is amazing news, and it feels a bit like a dream come true, although it still has to get picked up by a TV network and put into production, so I’m not getting too excited just yet. Luckily, the production company and animators want to work really closely with me, and I am planning on writing an episode or two myself.
How has your life changed since winning the 2011 Times/Chicken House Competition? What was that experience like?
It was a great breakthrough for me to win the competition, although it wasn’t until Podkin One-Ear won the Blue Peter prize in 2017 that my life really changed, when I was able to give up teaching to write full time. Now I can really focus on developing my stories and trying out new ideas, which is brilliant.
With reference to The Five Realms series, what was it like seeing your words and stories transformed into illustrations and artwork by David Wyatt? What do you feel his illustrations bring to the series?
I am so lucky to have David as an illustrator as he is absolutely fantastic. His pictures really bring the story to life, and my favourite part of putting a book together is seeing his illustrations come in. He manages to capture every detail that’s inside my head so accurately, it’s actually a bit scary.
How important are the names in the story? How do you go about creating names like Podkin, the Gorm, Sparrowfast and Spinestone?
I think names are very important for suggesting an atmosphere or idea. I usually just make them up, or combine bits of other words to come up with something new.
What might teachers learn about storytelling from the old Bard?
The bard is based on my time as a Reception teacher, when I tried to read the children as many stories as I could. I try to get across the magic of storytelling, and all the incredible things it can do. I think it is so important, and unfortunately gets squeezed out of the school day with all the curriculum pressures, especially as children get older.
Another popular book you have written is The Peculiars. How is The Peculiars similar to The Five Realms series? How is it different?
kieran3
The Peculiars is an evocative, imaginative gothic mystery set in Victorian London.
It’s really very different, as it is a historical/mystery story, but I think some of the themes are similar, such as inclusion, respect, friendship and being able to accomplish great things if you try hard enough.
I am excited to see that you’ve signed a new publishing deal with Faber Children’s and your new book, Uki and the Outcasts, will be published in September. Can you tell us a bit more about Uki and the Outcasts?
kieran8.JPG
Pre-order the book here!
The tale of Uki is connected to the overall story of Podkin, but I wanted to explore some of the other parts of the rabbit world that I had created. The hero is a young rabbit who is cast out of his tribe for looking different and who then gets caught up in a struggle for the future of the rabbit world against a host of spirits left over from the time of the Ancients. There’s lots of adventure and new characters, and the bard and Rue have some excitement and danger as well.
Why did you decide to set Uki and the Outcasts in the same world as The Five Realms series?
It is part of the overall story of Podkin and his friends, and I wanted to explore some other parts of the rabbit world.
After the success of The Five Realms series, what are your feelings about writing another series?
It would be great to write something else as well. The problem is coming up with an idea good enough…
What does a day in the life of Kieran Larwood look like when you’re writing? Do you have any writing rituals?
I usually start off the day with emails and letters, and then I go back through the last bit of writing I did. That usually takes me up to lunch, and then I have a few hours to write a bit more before the kids come back from school and doing anything becomes impossible. I do spend a lot of time thinking about the story and making notes, which is actually just as important as writing (even though it might not look like I’m doing anything).
What do you think is more important: characters or plot?
I think they are as important as each other. All parts of a book are equally important, in their own way.
Do you hear from your readers much? What kinds of things do they say?
I’m lucky enough to get lovely letters and emails from readers. They are all really positive and it’s great to see that children are enjoying my books.
What stories and authors did you enjoy as a child? Are there any that you feel have particularly influenced you?
I loved fantasy books, and still do. My biggest influence was probably The Hobbit, which opened my eyes to the whole fantasy genre.
I know that you worked as a Reception class teacher on the Isle of Wight. What is it about teaching this age group that you particularly enjoyed?
I don’t teach at the moment, as I’m writing full time. I did especially enjoy the child-led style of learning and their boundless enthusiasm for anything new.
What advice would you give to teachers about how to develop reading for pleasure in their classrooms?
I think the important thing is to make time for reading and enjoying books. I also think it’s amazing if teachers share a passion for books new and old. They can really enthuse children and help them broaden their range of reading. There seems to be great interaction between teachers and authors on Twitter at the moment.
Apart from your own books, are there any children’s books you’ve particularly enjoyed recently and would recommend?
I love all of Emma Carrol’s books, and also The House With Chicken Legs by Sophie Anderson, Begone the Raggedy Witches by Celine Kiernan, anything by Katherine Rundell, Phillip Reeve and M.G.Leonard. There are so many more… it really seems to be an amazing time for Middle Grade writing at the moment.
Finally, can you describe your books in three words?
Epic rabbit fantasy.
Mii News ‘Q & A’ With Children’s Author Kieran Larwood
March 6, 2019 by Galina
Ever since I can remember myself, books were a big part of my life. Everyone in my family has been a voracious reader and one of my grandfather’s was an illustrator for one of Russia’s biggest publishing houses. Bookshelves were always groaning under the weight of the books, even though they weren’t as widely or easily available, as they are now, nor were we spoilt by choice compared to today’s young generation of readers. What warms my heart though is that modern ways of life haven’t changed my deeply seeded love of reading. Luckily, whether through genes, personal example or both, that love has been passed on to my children, who now recommend books to me, as was the case with children’s author Kieran Larwood and his ‘The Five Realms’ series (so far there has been three Podkin One Ear books, each got double thumbs up from my son & I), who my son has put on my “reader’s radar”.
Encouraged by his English teacher (thank you Kere!), my son started creating a weekly newspaper for his Senior School last year and now spends his Sundays eagerly creating content & visuals for Mii News, much to my inner pride and delight (considering the fact that my mother is a former journalist, who worked for various newspapers, I guess there is a lot to be said for genes and leading by example in the seen and unseen ways .)
A couple of weeks ago I saw some news about Kieran Larwood on my Twitter feed and passed them on to my son, knowing he would be excited by the latest developments. He certainly was delighted, but also asked if he could ask Kieran some questions for his newspaper. Much to our delight, Kieran agreed & this past weekend, in preparation for The World Book Day on March 7th, my son included Q & A with Kieran in Mii News, which was distributed to students & teachers at his school on Monday. After seeking permission from both Kieran & my son, I am delighted to share this Q & A with you and your children!
What inspired you to become an author and create Podkin One Ear?
Kieran Larwood (KL): I loved reading fantasy books as a child, and wanted to create the perfect bedtime story for my daughter, who was 7 at the time.
Who is your favourite character in the book and why?
KL: I love the children, Podkin, Paz and Pook, because they are based on my own children, and also me and my brothers when we were little.
How many books will there be in the Podkin One Ear series?
KL: I am hoping to write 9 altogether (although 4,5 and 6 will be about some other characters!)
What was your favourite book during your childhood and why?
KL: I loved “The Hobbit”, because it was the first fantasy book I read, and made me realise that stories can be set in any world or place.
When did you start writing books?
KL: I didn’t start until I was about 30. I wanted to be an illustrator, and was making up stories to draw pictures for, when I discovered I preferred the writing part.
Did you get rejected by any publishing companies when you submitted your first book and if so, what made you not give in?
KL: Yes, lots. It’s very difficult to get published. You have to be very determined. I had some agents say nice things about my book, which made me believe in myself a bit more.
What are your plans for the future?
KL: I am hoping to sell enough books to keep on writing! I would love to develop some new series set in different worlds.
Will there be any movies of Podkin One Ear?
KL: I have just sold the rights, and there is a company hoping to make an animated TV series. Fingers crossed!
Why did you choose to write books for children and not adults?
KL: I think because I was a teacher at the time, but also because the magical books I read as a child have stayed with me all my life, in a way that books for adults don’t.
Why did you choose rabbits as the main animal in the book?
KL: It all came from doodles I had done in my sketchbook, of rabbits with armour and swords. I thought it would make a good idea for a fantasy world.
What advice would you give to children to help improve their creative writing?
KL: Make sure you read as much as possible! Keep notebooks for ideas and things that inspire you, and just practice lots and lots.
What were your top 3 favourite books during the last year?
KL: I loved “The House With Chicken Legs” by Sophie Anderson, “Begone the Raggedy Witches” by Celine Kiernan and “The Sun King” by Emma Carroll.
I want to finish this post by saying a huge “thank you” to Kieran for taking the time and sharing his personal & writing experiences with my son and other children. Modern world can feel impersonal & disconnected at times, so to see a strong bond between generations, talking and learning from each other is incredibly heart-warming. I encourage my children to be brave & confident, to follow their dreams and to keep on trying, when they want to achieve something, even if they don’t succeed straight away. To reach out to people that inspire them or they admire. To ask questions or for advice on things that are important to them, no matter how small. To learn. To speak up for themselves. To support each other in good times and bad. And as a fan of Kieran Larwood’s books thanks to my son, I am particularly grateful to him as a mother, for his encouragement of the young generation when it comes to learning, writing, reading and following their passions and dreams; helped, assisted, nurtured and guided by the grown-ups that are generous with their own time and experiences, in order to help children grow and accomplish things personally and professionally. After all, children are the future and we need to do our best to prepare them for things to come.
Larwood, Kieran THE BEASTS OF GRIMHEART Clarion (Children's Fiction) $16.99 8, 13 ISBN: 978-1-328-69602-1
Warrior rabbit Podkin, his sister, Paz, and their younger brother, Pook, embark on a seemingly impossible quest to prevent Gorm soldiers from annihilating the Five Realms and its inhabitants in this sequel to The Gift of Dark Hallow (2018).
In a frame story, Pook, now an elderly bard and captured by assassins, must tell the true story of the legendary Battle of Sparrowfast to save his life. As Pook's story unfolds, Podkin, his family, and a motley group of friends live at Dark Hallow Warren in Grimheart Forest. With the Gorm army threatening to devastate Grimheart, Podkin, Paz, and Pook depart for Sparrowfast Warren to appeal to their estranged uncle for his magical bow to destroy Gorm Lord Scramashank. (An illustrated list of all such magical weapons appears in the appendix.) Betrayed, they flee deep into Grimheart, where they are rescued by the Wardens of Grimwode, giant rabbits guarding the ancient forest who have been awaiting their arrival. After securing a magical horned crown to use in the impending Gorm battle, Podkin, Paz, and Pook return to Dark Hallow to find the Gorm army advancing and their uncle refusing to share his bow. Once again, everything depends on young Podkin. The gripping plot toggles between Pook's precarious storytelling dilemma and his dynamic personal recollection of the climactic battle, enhanced by dramatic illustrations.
A storytelling tour de force culminating in a rousing series finale. (map, character list) (Animal fantasy. 10-12)
