The Lighthouse at the World's End

By Amy Sparkes

Adventurous, magical and brilliantly funny final book in the House at the Edge of Magic series.

Nine and her friends are headed to the mortal realm in search of the only thing that will shake a very tricky witch off their tail: a priceless stargold locket. It lies hidden in the Nest of a Thousand Treasures, guarded by Nine’s old foe – the formidable gangmaster of all the thieflings in London. Even if Nine can get her hands on the locket, the friends must find a way to release its power – and for that they must travel through the World Between Worlds to the lighthouse on the Isle of Illusion, where nothing is quite as it seems…

Reviews

'A magical, accessible adventure that journeys through worlds to the Lighthouse on the Isle of Illusion for a dramatic conclusion.' WRD Magazine

'Amy Sparkes has a wonderful way of making her readers feel they are truly part of Nine’s journey, a chronicle about developing a sense of belonging, about the importance of friendship, about one’s family being what you make, rather than those you are related to, and about redemption and embracing differences.' Red Reading Hub

'This last book is as fabulous and imaginative and wonderous as the first one. It is more than just a fun adventure for kids. It's about the sense of belonging, about redemption, secrets, about family being what you make of it and not always who you're related to, about friendship, and about embracing your differences.' NetGalley Reviewer
