A thoroughly enjoyable, enchanting and gripping middle-grade fantasy that bubbles with historical fiction!! Set in an alternate version of 1833—a year marked by societal shifts such as the abolition of slavery and child labour reforms, and a pivotal moment for female empowerment—Children's author, Dominique Valente reimagines Great Britain as the mysterious Magic Isles….

It’s one of those middle-grade books I’m already eager to re-read. So, grab a copy and immerse yourself in the magical island of Whetherwhy, “where magic is as normal as breakfast.” If you’re looking for an inclusive ‘close relative’ alternative to Harry Potter to read with your children or your class - THIS IS IT.
