The Museum of Lost Umbrellas

Zusatztext

When Dilly arrives on the island of Ollipest, she is unsure what to expect from her new life... She certainly doesn't expect to find magic! But as she crosses the threshold of her aunt's house for the first time, she wishes for a dog, and her companion wishes for tea... low and behold, the two things appear. Until now, the magic of Ollipest Island has been a well-kept secret. Then the Museum of Lost Umbrellas opens after many years of closure... The museum is about to show Dilly that magic not only runs through the island but through her ancestors, too, and perhaps even through her. And when the museum attracts some very unsavoury anti-magic outsiders, Dilly must unlock the powers she has to help keep the island safe. A dazzling, epic adventure where witches fly with umbrellas, magical dogs walk out of the sea and pet parrots suddenly become humans. This will keep readers on their edge of the seats and leave them desperate for the next instalment.
