Perfect for fans of Nevermoor and Greenwild, all four books in the New York Times bestselling middle grade fantasy adventure series about the quirky inhabitants of a magical house are now available together in one paperback boxed set!
Nine is an orphan pickpocket determined to escape her life in the Nest of a Thousand Treasures where she's one of many thieves only valued for what they can steal. When she lifts a house-shaped ornament from a mysterious woman's purse, she knocks on its tiny door and watches it grow into a huge, higgledy-piggledy building.
Inside, Nine meets the eccentric people who call the magical house their home: Dr. Spoon the alchemist, Flabberghast the young wizard and competitive hopscotch-er, and Eric the troll housekeeper with a strong emotional attachment to his feather duster. For years, they have been desperate to end the curse on the house that prevents them from leaving. After years of having only herself to count on, prickly Nine doesn't have an altruistic bone in her body and should be the very last choice for anyone looking for a hero, but she's the only one around.
From curses to witches to other magical buildings, Nine uses her street smarts to uncover more about the perils and pitfalls of magic, the bizarre but perhaps loveable makeshift family living in the houseand herself.
