A Trick of Time

Prepare yourself for even more mischief than before with

this gorgeously gothic series!

Malice Morbid Malign isn’t like the

rest of her family.

But when her younger sister Antipathy-Rose finds a sphere of solid

Amber in one of the forbidden swag rooms at Malignant House,

and bites right through it, she unwittingly unleashes a world of

trouble. Trapped within the Amber sphere is Maniacal Malign’s

time-stopping pocket watch.

Maniacal Malign had been in exile for several centuries but the

moment Antipathy-Rose’s gnashers crack the Amber, he is summoned

back to monstrous action. Malice, Uncle Vex and Seth find

themselves on a time-sensitive mission, as they race to retrieve

the pocket watch, whilst unravelling Maniacal’s malevolent

mischief along the way.

The perfect next read for Amelia Fang fans.

An ideal gift for readers for Halloween and beyond.

This funny, warm-hearted, spooky series - stunningly

illustrated by Hannah Peck, and beautifully packaged -

will delight and enchant middle-grade readers aged 8+.
