Beth Webb

Anelise sees crimes before they happen, but no one believes her.

Joe solves crimes. But the police don’t believe him either.

When Anelise sees a cyclist plunging into a quarry she rings 999, but when help arrives there’s no cyclist and no bike. The following week the accident happens for real. The cyclist survives, but did someone mean to kill him – and why?

Forensics-mad Joe investigates, only to discover a deadly nest of drug dealers who’ll stop at nothing to shut the cousins up.

Disbelieved is the riveting new YA action thriller from Beth Webb, author of the Star Dancer quartet. Packed with science, deceit, and too much sugar, Disbelieved will keep you guessing till the very last page.

As she passed her hand over the mirror’s blackened surface, Étain memorized what she had scried: a young druid-girl with raven hair, but not an ordinary student of the arts who stuck rigidly to spells and potions; this one worked instinctively with raw magic plucked from the elements. She understood how to inhale the breath of inspiration, she could dream in the fires of Tir na nÓg and wield them without fear. She would not dread the Spirits of Water as she trod the waves.

One day I was talking to a friend who had bought a new shop to sell wonderful things like really old radios and gramophone players. I said I thought his shop was lovely, and he replied he liked it very much, but there was no dragon in the cellar. I asked what he meant and he said, ‘Come on Beth, you of all people should know that every cellar has to have a dragon!’ I said, ‘What a wonderful idea, can I use that in a story?’

He said yes, and that’s why this book has special thanks to Philip Knighton in the front.

I used his shop as the setting for the tale, and the town I used to live in (Wellington, in Somerset), and the wonderful autumn carnivals we have as well.

Oddly enough, the year I was writing this story, the Wellington carnival really DID have a very realistic looking dragon right at the end of the procession… I often wonder what happened to it? Did it find a nice dry cellar to curl up in, or did it catch a cold?

The way this book came into being shows you can get ideas for stories from anything. You just have to keep your ears and eyes wide open!

Years of pollution and misuse have put the River Planet in danger. Manny, a mysterious and starving Sand-boy is the only person who knows how to put it right. Now, through a simple act of kindness, Johin is entwined in this dangerous quest.

As the River Planet is drawn further into a deadly drought, and the only water is guarded and rationed, a Mud Girl, Johin, saves the life of a dying Sand Boy called Manny. In return, he shows her the magic of the Lightwater, and she is drawn into a seemingly hopeless quest to revive the River that is the life of the planet, and to Unmake the pollution that is killing it. Johin’s inner struggles to make herself worthy of Manny’s quest are admirable, whilst his quiet wisdom and determination to go on are subtly reassuring. Through their trials, The Magic in the Pool of Making deals simply and beautifully with issues diverse as racism, apathy and the environment in a story for children which teaches that our own selfish impulses can be overcome by love, determination and a willingness to do what is right.

This is a tale about parallel worlds – our ‘real’ world of everyday things existing in the same time and place as a magical world where an ageing king battles against evil. Yet the two aren’t separate, they intertwine and depend on each other!

A good friend had a wonderful tumble-down cottage in Oxfordshire. The garden was long, and a bit overgrown, and the spiders were enormous! It was a wonderful landscape for wildlife as well as the setting for several eerie tales.

But, like all lovely old places, the danger of development hung over it.

That gave me the idea about a magical, parallel world that decides to fight back…
