by Amy Sparkes

The House At The Edge Of Magic is a luminous fantasy adventure for curious middle‑grade readers who crave wonder, humor, and a dash of mischief. Nine, an orphan pickpocket, steals a house-shaped ornament and watches it grow into a sprawling, living home where magic shimmers in every corridor. Inside, she encounters a cast of brilliantly funny characters—like Flabberghast, a competitive young wizard, and a troll housekeeper who adores his feather duster—and learns they are under a spell they must break, with Nine’s help offering a chance at a new life. This story is perfect for readers who love fast-paced quests, clever humor, and warm friendships. The narrative unfolds with a brisk, cozy energy that makes the magic feel accessible and irresistible. The book’s structure—short chapters, quick scenes, and witty exchanges—keeps the pace lively while giving room for warmth and wonder. The world is built with care: a nest of treasures, a door that opens to a living house, and a cast of oddball residents whose hopes and fears feel real. It’s a journey about choosing a new path, friendship that can rewrite a life, and the courage to believe in magic when the world seems ordinary.
