PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- Celeste has been left in charge of her very annoying little sister Esme whilst her parents are off gallivanting around. It's hard being the responsible one in the family, so when their eccentric cousin Ferd literally crashes a magic bus in front of Gran's house, Celeste is ready to jump on board and journey to Ferd's home on Wherewithal Way. It is a portal for the six Realms, and Ferd is the gatekeeper - and a rather rebellious one at that! Denizens of these other worlds have been given refuge there, so there's a Giant in the library, a Mermaid in the fountain, and a number of Faery folk in the house. When something threatening tries to break in from the Realm of the Forests, Ferd, the girls and apprentice Logan set out to discover what is causing the upset… Firmly grounded in Russian and Eastern European folklore, this big exciting adventure is full of imaginative touches and a solidly constructed world, and promises to be the first in a series. Ages 9-13 Lindy
