Formats: E-Book, Paperback
Age Groups: 8-11, 12-15

Funny twisted-proverbs adventure. Adventure begins with a book. And an A. The Book of Wisdom-ish is where short stories meet a novel, set in the faery tale kingdom of Hearts Melting. The tales are held together by one girl’s investigation into the mysterious holes in the sky. And scones. Wielding only a potato masher, twelve-year-old Mary must deal with a demon (proving a book should be judged by its cover). Then she notices a peculiar sky-hole… Grass-eating faery Draxen demonstrates true friendship, Cook is challenged by the proof of the puddings and two-headed giant Crackncrag struggles to be understood. Cities made of glass and myth-magical creatures also feature. As the power behind the sky-holes increases its grip on the land, a dark purpose is revealed. With Mary leading the charge, all must unite to save their peculiar world. Ages 9+ For fans of Terry Pratchett's Discworld and Jaclyn Moriarty's Bronte...
