bestselling author and acclaimed performer Carrie Hope Fletcher.
Brilliant Aunt Maude visits seasides the world over and has become
quite the pebble collector. Pebbles of all shapes, sizes and
colours and even one that looked a bit like Elvis Presley if you
squinted a bit. Her favourite pebbles, however, are Marigold, Mabel
and Morris. One by one, and by strange and unusual ways, each child
arrives at the stage door of Brilliant Aunt Maude's theatre in the
heart of London, home to an extraordinary cast of performers.
There's Dante the miraculous magician, Petunia the storyteller and
seventy-year-old contortionists - the Fortune Sisters! But ticket
sales are dwindling and the curtains might have to close - for the
final time. Until one day, as the Pebbles are exploring the many
nooks and crannies of the theatre, they stumble upon something they
were never meant to find . . . something that just might save the
theatre after all . . .
The first novel by bestselling international superstar Maddie Ziegler!
