Coraline meets His Dark Materials – a spooky fantasy-adventure about belonging, from 'the rising star of children's fantasy'.
Truly the most magical story... iridescent and lyrical and heartwarming.
A glitteringly magical adventure
Full of gorgeous magic and characters ... beautiful
This book is absolutely amazing! It's my favourite children's book so far this year! With magic, mystery, spookyness and other worlds, this book will suck you in from page one.
This is such a special book. I love Amy Wilson’s descriptive writing and love the worlds and characters she has created. The plot is fast moving and yet somehow pauses to allow the reader to marvel at the beauty of Orbis and revel in the warm hearted chaos of the ghost house. I am now off to buy every book Amy has ever written!
