Summary

Sometimes you are a whisper away from magic without even realising it.

Nine is an orphan pickpocket determined to escape her life in the Nest of a Thousand Treasures. When she steals a house-shaped ornament from a mysterious woman’s purse, she knocks on its tiny door and watches it grow into a huge higgledy-piggeldy house. Inside she finds a host of magical and brilliantly funny characters, including Flabberghast - a young wizard who’s particularly competitive at hopscotch - and a hideous troll housekeeper who’s emotionally attached to his feather duster. They have been placed under an extraordinary spell, which they are desperate for Nine to break - and if she can, maybe they can offer her a new life in return....

Gripping and bonkers.

I love Amy’s style and imagination and I’m about to launch into Book 2 to see where the story goes. Writing a novel is hard but when it works, the characters live. 9 lives and, man, she better make it to Book 3!
