MERRYSHIELDS: THE GEESE IN THE CEILING Book 2 in The Chronicles of Merryshields 🏆 Finalist, The Wishing Shelf Book Awards

What if a painting wasn't just something you looked at?

What if you could climb right inside it?

Piper, Jack, Willow and Kit are back at Merryshields, and they've made a discovery that changes everything. The paintings on the walls aren't just paintings. They're worlds. And if you're brave enough, you can step right through the canvas and into whatever lies beyond.

It's a world where time is not what it seems to be, where new 300-year-old friends are waiting to be found, and where getting lost in a landscape is a very literal kind of problem. Especially when one of you has somehow, inexplicably, been turned into a goose.

And while all of this is going on, Silver the dog is having a concerning adventure of his own...

A treasure trove of secrets waiting to be unlocked, brimming with magic, mystery, and unforgettable characters, The Geese in the Ceiling takes everything readers loved about Book 1 and opens up an entirely new world inside it. Perfect for middle grade readers aged 7 to 12, and for anyone who has ever wondered whether the painting on the wall might be looking back at them.

Available in paperback and ebook, compatible with Kindle, Kobo, Nook, and any reading device. Delivered by Bookfunnel.
