Story
Imogen and Marie return through the door in the tree to a whole new Yaroslav. Miro is king but hates it. Anneshka is no longer queen...and hates it. When Anneshka hears a prophecy that she will rule the Greatest Kingdom, she seizes Marie, believing her to be key to fulfilling it, and heads over the mountains. Imogen and Miro chase after them in hot pursuit. But what they find in the lands beyond will change everything again, and see them facing dangers they could never have imagined, both human and otherwise.

Willow Moss, the youngest and least powerful sister in a family of witches, has a magical ability for finding lost things - like keys, or socks, or wooden teeth. Useful, but not exactly exciting. Then the most powerful witch in the world of Starfell turns up at Willow’s door and asks for her help. A whole day - last Tuesday to be precise - has gone missing. Completely. And, without it, the whole universe could unravel. Now Willow holds the fate of Starfell in her rather unremarkable hands. Can she save the day - by finding the lost one?

Now the twins are 11, Roar is just a memory. But when they help Grandad clean out the attic, Arthur is horrified as Grandad is pulled into the folding bed and vanishes. Is he playing a joke? Or is Roar...real?

Disappointing narrator - incredible story
- By Smidge on 23-04-21
Summary
With all the magic of Narnia and the humour of Mary Poppins, this is a future middle grade fantasy classic - and the beginning of an unforgettable journey....
Imogen should be nice to her little sister Marie. She should be nice to her mum’s boyfriend, too. And she certainly shouldn’t follow a strange silver moth through a door in a tree.
But then...who does what they’re told?
Followed by Marie, Imogen finds herself falling into a magical kingdom where the two sisters are swept up in a thrilling race against time - helped by the spoiled prince of the kingdom, a dancing bear, a very grumpy hunter...and even the stars above them.
Thrilling, sharply funny and with characters you will fall in love with, A Clock of Stars is a timeless fantasy from an astonishing new voice.
Critic reviews
"An utterly wonderful, timeless magical adventure packed with all the best things about children's fiction." (Anna James, author of Pages & Co.)
"A Clock of Stars: The Shadow Moth fluttered straight into my heart. Sometimes you pick up a book and know – from the very first pages – that you're reading an instant classic. This is one of those books. Prepare to be spellbound." (Carlie Sorosiak, author of I, Cosmo)
"...a sparkling debut...boasts a funny, engaging voice, a strong sibling dynamic and a bold, intransigent heroine.” (Guardian)
