Clover Twig And The Magical Cottage

A funny and magical story about an ordinary girl who gets a dose of adventure when she goes to work for a witch who lives in a magical flying cottage. When the sensible, reliable and always tidy Clover Twig goes to work for a messy witch, she discovers that the witch's cottage has quite a few secrets hiding inside of it!

Clover Twig is clever, neat and responsible. She also needs to find a job to help out her lovable and chaotic family. So when she sees a sign saying 'Wonted. Strong Gril to Cleen. Aply Mrs Eckles, Hous in the Woods', she knows this is the job for her, even though Mrs Eckles is (perhaps) a witch, even though the gate is rude to Clover, and it seems that the house in the woods, can, well . . . fly.

Clover Twig - clever, neat, responsible, is still in the employ of Mrs Eckles, chaotic, cantankerous, and a witch. One day, Granny Dismal, a witch from the neighbouring village, warns them that the Perilous Path has been seen in the woods. As its name indicates, it leads nowhere good, and also has a habit of sneaking up on you. And then little Herby, Clover's baby brother, goes missing ... A very funny witch-filled romp, featuring Clover, Mrs Eckles and the return of Mrs Eckles's wicked revenge-driven witch sister, Mesmeranza ...

Lovable Clover Twig is back, and this time she's traveling along the Perilous Path to try and save her little brother Herby.

'Dodos are extinct, you see. I know that same as you do.' 'If Dodos are extinct,' said Fred, 'Then what's that Dodo doo-doo?' A wonderfully funny tale about the real reason why dodos are extinct, from the award-winning author of Pongwhiffy and the award-winning illustrator of Winnie the Witch!

Inspired by Charles Dickens, Umansky pens a daft and clever account of a foundling who sets out in search of his destiny, only to encounter some woeful misadventures along the way.

Jane is spending the summer with her odd new friend, Staffa, going to parties and wearing fancy dresses. Staffa's slightly scary mother, Lady Matilda, tells crazy stories, drinks a vile-smelling tea, and never strays far from a glowing painted box that the girls are under strict orders never, ever to open. But Jane can't resist; upon opening it, she is sucked into an amazing and terrifying new world so small that insects are the size of horses. Jane knows she must escape immediately or be trapped forever. But first, she has to wrangle a flying bumblebee, rescue the king, and free the people of Eck. Kate Saunders's The Little Secret takes readers into a wildly imaginative miniaturized world of castle balls, death-defying bee riders, and giant racing spiders. A world where wicked plots are hatched, exciting rescues staged, and where the power of friendship can be a match for even the most dastardly of villains.
