'With a feel of “Oliver Twist” and some of the most quirky, magical moments I have ever read, this book is brilliant! Fabulous characters lead the chase through an expertly crafted world, allowing the whole story to burst off the page.
Fortunately, as this is the first in a new series, more magical adventures are on the way. Implausible, hilarious and filled with heart, what a great way to start the reading year!' Fallen Star Stories Blog
'I would absolutely love to explore the chaotic corridors and rambunctious rooms of The House at the Edge of Magic in person. I was delighted to read a note at the back announcing further adventures of Nine and her companions, and am very much looking forward to returning to this house! There are echoes of Diana Wynne Jones and Dickens, yet this is thoroughly fresh and original. The House at the Edge of Magic is as addictive and delicious as the sweets frequently brandished by Eric the troll - I cannot wait for more!' Toppsta
'The world that Amy has created is wondrous and magical, and I loved every tiny enchanting detail she has carefully crafted and tossed into this marvellous melting pot. I cannot wait to spend more time in this delightful realm. Perfect for fans of magical middle grade, Abi Elphinstone, Michelle Harrison or LD Lapinski!' Toppsta
'Take a pinch of Oliver Twist, a dash of Harry Potter and mix with the humour of the picture books for which this author is already known, and you have this fast-paced, funny and entertaining story. This would be a wonderful introduction to the fantasy adventure genre and as the first in a new series this has the potential to be popular.' The School Librarian
