I'm looking for a song from the early 2000s to maybe 2019 by a female artist. I have it on an old MP3 player from various CDs. I can't find the CD (moved/traveled since then!) and the name is listed as 'Take it and Run'.

In the alternative world that is the setting for The Song That Sings Us, the song is the link between all the creatures of the world. Some humans, the Listeners, can hear what other animals are saying and thinking. And some animals can slip their thoughts into the minds of humans and communicate with them.

Inspiring, important and innovative – full of action that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Nicola Davies is a magnificent writer and this is a tour-de-force. It’s for fans of Mortal Engines as much as it is for those who love Watership Down’. – Simon Fisher Following the start of her writing career, Nicola became a senior lecturer in creative writing, at Bath Spa University but has been writing full time for over a decade. She now regularly runs workshops for children and adults to help them find their voices as writers and advocates for nature. In 2017, she was the first recipient of the SLA’s award for Outstanding Contribution to Children’s Non-fiction and in 2018 had four picture books longlisted for the Greenaway Award.You need to strap yourself in tight for the helter-skelter ride that is Nicola Davies’ latest, a YA eco-thriller on steroids and then some. There’s even a map of a country which bears more than a passing resemblance to Wales, albeit a version which shows how the edge of the ice seems to be in line with somewhere near Holyhead, and to the north of that extends the White Sea, where snow bears roam and mammoths mingle.

Then there’s the threat of an avalanche overwhelming the trio before they reach the rim of the snow:

Coffee house Caffè Nero has announced the 16-strong shortlist for the inaugural Nero Book Awards, recognising the outstanding books of the past 12... It balances the line between grief and wonder, hope and fear. I was chilled, heartbroken and felt reflected in it too, but the story, it is glorious and visionary with epic adventures and beautiful characters! I loved it so much.’– Dara McAnulty
