'Are you brave?' When the mysterious Amelia Pigeon turns up at
Kirby's bedroom window in the dead of night, this is the question
she asks him -- right before they tumble into a world of ancient
malevolent spirits who have torn their way into Kirby's quiet
seaside village. Kirby isn't feeling brave at all. His mother is in
a coma following a freak (or was it?) accident, and he's hardly
talking to his dad. He's convinced a spider is spying on him, and
now a weird girl in a yellow raincoat -- who claims to be a
powerful, evil-banishing Shadowsmith -- is dragging him into
unknown danger. How brave is he really? Ross MacKenzie, author of
award-winning The Nowhere Emporium, weaves a world of magic and
adventure which twists and turns magnificently, and keeps thrilled
young readers guessing right to the end.
'I seemed to be seeing double. I saw two Edies instead of one - but
they weren't the same.' Edie is fascinated by Victorian times, and
she's just desperate to be cast in the lead role of her drama club
production of Oliver. When she's given a real Victorian notebook
she's determined to write the best story ever, all about a girl in
a workhouse. But when she starts writing, something strange
happens. Edie finds herself in Victorian London. She feels the
same, but everything around her is completely different to what she
knows. Soon, she realises she's living the life of another Edie
Trimmer - and is in danger of being sent to a real workhouse! Will
she forget everything she knows about her other life - and will she
ever be able to make it back to her family? A heart-warming time
travel adventure about family and friendship from the much-loved,
bestselling Jacqueline Wilson. Discover Jacqueline Wilson's other
