Celebrate Lunar New Year with Maisie Chan at Waterstones Liverpool

Blast to the Past with award-winning author Maisie Chan as we celebrate the Year of the Horse!

Maisie will talk about her new novel Nate Yu’s Blast From the Past and why she wanted to feature Liverpool Chinatown during the Lunar New Year.

Nate Yu Riley loves three things: his Switch, his ant farm (especially Betsy, queen of the colony) and his family.

He's not so sure about some other things, like moving to a big city, starting a new school, and his parents making him do Chinese stuff. They're always trying to get him to embrace his heritage, but Nate can't speak Chinese, and he doesn't know anything about Chinese customs.

But when Nate comes across an old shell casing engraved with a Chinese dragon, he can't stop thinking about it. And when he touches the shell, someone extraordinary appears. A ghost from long ago. Someone who needs Nate's help - and Nate might just need his, too ...

Learn all about ants like Maisie's main character Nate and even create your own lantern and riddle for the lantern festival. Maisie will be happy to sign copies of Nate Yu's Blast From The Past after the event. Tickets for this event are free but spaces are strictly limited - please get yours soon to avoid disappointment. Please note - accompanying adults don't need a ticket.
