Thanks to many generations of careless magicians, the city of Helm is overflowing with
magic, which has made it a very dangerous place to live. Leave anything alone for too
long and it will transform into something else: your house will turn to gingerbread,
your teapot will start pouring pond water or – if you're really unlucky – your floor will
turn to lava.
The magicians liked to pretend it’s them who keep the worst magical hiccups in check,
but the real heroes of the whole sorry situation are of a wholly different occupation:
equally well known but decidedly less respected.
The heroes of the city of Helm are the cleaners.
Ward, an ambitious twelve-year-old cleaner, wants nothing more than to belong to the
League of Cleaners, who will grant him the prestige and popularity he's been looking
for all his life – if only he can pass three near-impossible tests. Struggling toward this
goal with a team he doesn't trust, Ward's world is upended when his friend disappears
and mysterious magic-eating monsters appear all over the city and start tearing holes
in the fabric of reality. Suddenly his ambitions are the least of his problems…
Hugely funny and exciting, and with an incredibly imaginative, original story,
The Spick and the Span is the unmissable fantasy middle grade debut of 2025
– you'll never look at magic the same way again…
