A magical, confidently told story - with beautiful illustrations by
Levi Pinfold . . . I predict a roaring success' The Times
Frank doesn't know how to feel when Nick Underbridge rescues her
from bullies one afternoon. No one likes Nick. He's big, he's weird
and he smells - or so everyone in Frank's class thinks. And yet,
there's something nice about Nick's house. There's strange music
playing there, and it feels light and good and makes Frank feel
happy for the first time in forever. But there's more to Nick, and
to his house, than meets the eye, and soon Frank realises she isn't
the only one keeping secrets. Or the only one who needs help ... A
poignant, darkly comic and deeply moving story about the power of
the extraordinary, and finding friendship where you least expect
it. Written by the author of the critically acclaimed The Imaginary
and illustrated by award-winning illustrator Levi Pinfold, this is
perfect for fans of Roald Dahl and Neil Gaiman.
An extraordinary story about friendship and betrayal. Of revenge
and retribution but also redemption. Perfect for 11+ readers who
enjoy Stranger Things. Hex never meant for the girl to follow him
and his friend Tommo into the woods. He never meant for her to fall
off the rope swing and break her arm. When the finger of blame is
pointed at him, Hex runs deep into the woods and his fierce sense
of injustice leads him to a strange clearing in the woods - a
clearing that has never been there before - where an old lady in a
cottage offers him a deal. She'll rid the world of those who
wronged him and Hex can carry on his life with them all forgotten
and as if nothing ever happened. But what Hex doesn't know is
someone else has been offered the same deal. When Hex's best friend
Tommo wakes up the next day, he is in a completely different world
but he only has murmurs of memories of the world before. Moments of
deja vu that feel like Tommo's lived this day before. Can Tommo put
the world right again? Back to how it was? Or can he find a way to
make a new world that could be better for them all?
