Joint UK tour for Bardugo and Rowell

Leigh Bardugo and Rainbow Rowell

Rowell, the author of Fan Girl and Carry On (Macmillan Children’s Books) said she was “thrilled” to tour with Bardugo, adding: “My last UK tour was my favourite tour ever.”

Bardugo, whose books include Six of Crows (Orion Children's), added: “I feel like this adventure is long overdue. Rainbow has been making me laugh until I snort since we first met, which is funny because her books never fail to make me cry. They're full of such unique magic; they make you fall in love with falling in love.”

Full details of the tour dates and times can be found on the Worlds Collide website.
