'Perfect for fans of Lemony Snicket' - a Book of the Year in the i
News 'A whirligig of adventure' - The Telegraph _______________
Bronte Mettlestone is ten years old when her parents are killed by
pirates. This does not bother her much: her parents ran away to
have adventures when she was a baby. She has been raised by her
Aunt Isabelle, with assistance from the Butler, and has spent a
pleasant childhood of afternoon teas and riding lessons. Now,
however, her parents have left detailed instructions for Bronte in
their will. (Instructions that, annoyingly, have been reinforced
with faery cross-stitch, which means that if she doesn't complete
them, terrible things could happen) She must travel the kingdoms
alone, delivering gifts to ten other aunts: a farmer aunt who owns
an orange orchard, a veterinarian aunt who specializes in dragon
care, a pair of aunts who captain a cruise ship, and a former rock
star aunt who is now the reigning monarch of a small kingdom. But
as she travels from aunt to aunt, Bronte suspects there might be
more to this journey than the simple delivery of treasure; though
little does she suspect that she will have to play such a big part
in the extraordinary events that follow. Fans will also love book
