Overview
Step into a house that hiccups between worlds with this complete four-book paperback collection following Nine, a resourceful young pickpocket, and her wonderfully eccentric magical housemates. Written by New York Times bestselling author Amy Sparkes, this laugh-out-loud fantasy series has captivated readers with inventive plotting and warm-hearted friendships. Perfect for fans of whimsical fantasy, this set is an ideal gift for curious readers aged 8 and up.
About the Books
The House at the Edge of Magic introduces Nine, an orphan pickpocket who accidentally grows a full-sized, higgledy-piggledy house from a stolen ornament. Inside she meets Flabberghast, a wizard obsessed with hopscotch, and a cast of oddball companions who need her cleverness to break an extraordinary curse. The Tower at the End of Time picks up after the curse lifts, only for the House to reveal a nervous habit of hiccupping between realms; when a misfired hopscotch spell strands Flabberghast at the foot of a terrifying tower, Nine and her friends must race to the rescue. The Bookshop at the Back of Beyond takes the gang into a mysterious, book-filled shop where Professor Dish has been trapped by the cunning witch Ophidia, and only teamwork and a little unexpected magic can save him. Finally, The Lighthouse at the World's End sends Nine into the mortal realm on a heist to recover a priceless stargold locket hidden among London's thieflings, blending high-stakes adventure with heartfelt friendship. Together, the four books form a complete, satisfying story arc full of humour and warmth.
