#JudithRossell - Leah, Kaylee and Shehan chat with award winning author and illustrator Judith Rossell about her novel, Withering-by-Sea, which is set in Victorian England, where Stella Montgomery lives with her three dreadful Aunts at the Hotel Majestic. One day, she sees something she shouldn't have, and is plunged into an adventure. Can she overcome the sinister magician and his gang of thugs, a hand-of-glory, a clockwork beetle, a military pudding, mutton-in-aspic and an enormous, ghostly sea monster, to find her way home?
