MERRYSHIELDS: THE ISLAND IN THE ATTIC (eBook) Book 1 in The Chronicles of Merryshields 🏆 Red Ribbon Winner, The Wishing Shelf Book Awards

Some houses are just houses. Merryshields is not one of those.

Massive, mysterious, and undoubtedly the most magical mansion the world has ever seen, Merryshields has been hidden deep in the countryside for years, waiting for someone to find it. When cousins Piper, Jack, Willow and Kit move in, the magic begins immediately. A silver dog! A ghostly cook! A self-drawing map that promises treasure!

But then they notice a flag waving from a high attic window, and everything intensifies. Behind that door lies a desert island, two stranded pirates, and the terrifying Bad Babs Bembridge, Witch of the Seas, who raises storms, steals children, and can smell gold from miles away.

Can the cousins rescue their new friends, save the treasure, and keep Merryshields from ruin? Or will they find themselves trapped forever, working as slaves in Bad Babs's evil empire?

There's only one way to find out.

A middle grade adventure packed with magic, mystery, humour and heart, The Island in the Attic is the first book in the Chronicles of Merryshields series. Perfect for readers aged 7 to 12, and for anyone who has ever suspected that ordinary rooms might contain extraordinary worlds.

Available in paperback and ebook, so your young reader can choose their adventure in whatever format suits them best.
