“Are you brave?”

Kirby is being watched – by a spider. Weirder still, a strange girl with extraordinary powers bangs on his window in the middle of the night. Stuff like this doesn’t happen to him. Exactly how frightened should he be?

From the master storyteller Ross MacKenzie, author of award-winning THE NOWHERE EMPORIUM, comes a new, darkly magical world.

“Even monsters are scared of something. And that something is me.”
