About this listen
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....

Great story but poor narrator
Interesting story but Narrator (Amy Sparks?) is not very good. Narrator (female voice) just "read" the book. Pacing of narrator made it very difficult to follow the story.

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!
