A Diana Wynne Jones-ish adventure fizzing with imagination. Such
fun – I loved it!
*Sinead O'Hart*
A wonder-filled book that revels in magic and mayhem.
*Abi Elphinstone*
The House at the Edge of Magic is wildly imaginative and
relentlessly entertaining. It is a story like no other and I
absolutely adored it!
*David Walliams*
A wonder of a book that zip, zaps and zooms off the page.
*Stacey Miller*
This energetic, inventive romp has a touch of the late, great Diana
Wynne Jones.
*The Guardian*
