Wakefield Press announces that Snow<\/em>, the young adult dystopian Snow White<\/em> retelling by debut author Gina Inverarity, will be released 01 April 2020!<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you are an eagle-eyed follower of Wakefield Press news, you may have noticed that our original publication date for Snow<\/em> was actually later in 2020.<\/p>\n We want to give Snow<\/em> the absolute best chance to find readers who will love this book as much as we do. With the future so uncertain at the moment, we have therefore decided that the best step is to bring the publication date of Snow<\/em> forward by one month to 01 April 2020.<\/p>\n Here is our YA Publisher Margot Lloyd speaking on Snow<\/em>:<\/p>\n ‘Changing a release date \u2013 especially this late in the game \u2013 is not a decision I take lightly, but I think it\u2019s the right thing to do for this book.<\/p>\n When I first read Snow<\/em>, I thought the Voyagers and the sickness that overtook them \u2013 and the castle village that closed its doors \u2013 were an apt metaphor for asylum seekers trying to get to Australia.<\/p>\n I didn\u2019t realise how relevant this story would become.<\/p>\n As supply chains shut down around the world, I\u2019ve realised it\u2019s better to rush this story out now than let it wait.<\/p>\n Gina writes about a world become strange \u2013 and the illnesses, migrations and privations it will bring. (In Snow<\/em>, the world is transformed by the effects of climate change.)<\/p>\n She also writes about how a teenage girl can survive in these topsy-turvy times. How she can make the most of situations in which very little is offered to her, how she can be resourceful, brave, and far stronger than she looks.<\/p>\n So, yes, we have changed the release date, and I\u2019m very sorry for any confusion that has caused. But now the book is available, and now, I think, is exactly the time it needs to be read.’<\/p>\n Margot Lloyd, YA Publisher<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n Discover this beautiful young adult fiction tale for yourself!<\/p>\n Locked in a cell by her stepmother, Snow grows small but she still grows. Even so, she’s hardly a match for a world gone wild, where the sun has disappeared behind clouds for good. The night the hunter takes her into the forest with orders to cut out her heart, Snow makes him a promise she isn’t sure she can keep. And then she runs. And her childish promise will not be forgotten.<\/p>\n A dark and lyrical Snow White<\/em> retelling set in a post-climate-change world, Snow<\/em> is a fairytale of the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Support Wakefield Press by buying our beautiful books!<\/p>\n Get your own copy of Snow<\/a>, or visit o<\/strong>ur website<\/a> or contact us on 08 8352 4455 for more information, or to purchase a book (or three!).

<\/a>When the girl brought my bowl she was in and out through the door like she couldn’t move fast enough. And when the lock clicked after her I found something she’d left. A knife. And not one for spreading butter, but a sharp one for slitting throats.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nSnow’s life is no fairytale. As she grows up her path will take her into the mountains, over misty passes, desolate gorges and alpine rivers, as well as to the city, where she will make her case for the return of what is hers.<\/p>\n
