Waterstones Says

Boasting wacky wizards and troublesome trolls, Sparkes’s wildly imaginative and gloriously eccentric fantasy finds an orphan pickpocket in charge of a supernatural house placed under a strange and mystical spell.

'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...
