Tabitha Plimtock and the Edge of the World

Tabitha Plimtock lives in a house at the very edge of the world.

Her nasty relatives send her down the cliff face to collect nuts and eggs and other stuff. But Tabitha doesn’t mind, because the people who live in the wall pockets are lovely. And Mr Cratchley, who lives in the darkness down below the sunline, is the loveliest.

When rumours spread that strange creatures are climbing the wall, it’s Mr Cratchley that Tabitha worries for most. Because something is stirring at the base, and it’s getting very hungry …

The story of a girl who sees beauty in the darkness.
