SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2021 COSTA CHILDRENS BOOK AWARD SUNDAY TIMES CHILDRENS BOOK OF THE WEEK A sophisticated magical tale, awash in sinister villains and perplexing plights ... bursting with invention Financial Times Dreamy and odd, yet razor sharp and terrifying all rolled into one ... The Neverending Story and Spirited Away and Coraline all rolled into one amazing story. If you have fans of manga, fans of headstrong, flawed characters, witty and brave sidekicks and truly gut-wrenching monsters then this is the one for you. I cant recommend it enough. Lucas Maxwell, School Librarian of the Year The story is every bit as bizarre, brilliant, fantastical and exciting as Id hoped. Definitely one to watch out for Kiran Millwood Hargrave __________________________ A thrilling tale of friendship and courage - Maggie Blue, strongwilled and isolated, sees her enemy from school taken through a window to a parallel world by one of their teachers and determines to follow, whatever the cost.
