The House at the Edge of Magic
Fantasy, Quick Reads for Years 5 & 6“Sometimes you are a whisper away from magic without even realizing 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…

Nika –
This book is completely bonkers and everyone who enjoyed Howl’s Moving Castle will absolutely LOVE this! I mean who wouldn’t enjoy being in the company of a sad-looking housekeeping troll, a quite useless wizard and a spoon dressed in a kilt brandishing a sword? It’s up to the feisty heroine Nine to break the curse cast on their house, before it (and everyone inside it) ceases to exist. Read it, it’s great!
