A Clock of Stars Series

by ,
(41 reviews)

Similarly to The Chronicles of Narnia, this exciting middle grade fantasy adventure begins through a secret door that leads two sisters on an unforgettable journey, full of danger, magic and monsters, all illustrated in black and white throughout by the incredible Chris Riddell!

In the first book of this awe-inspiring series, two sisters, Imogen and Marie, follow a strange silver moth through a door in a tree and, before they know it, they are swept into a magical medieval kingdom, full of woodland people and mountain-dwelling monsters. The two sisters will befriend a prince, Miro, who promises to help them find their way back home, but on one condition: they must help him reunite his kingdom which is at war. So begins an incredible race against time, involving a dancing bear, a very grumpy hunter ... and even the stars above.

In book 2, a prophecy changes the course of Imogen and Marie's story; the two sisters are separated and Marie must be rescued. A great chase begins, where Miro will prove to be a true friend and incredibly helpful, and in which new dangers are to be faced and overcome. We are also introduced to the character of Anneshka, who has evil plans and must be stopped at all costs.

In book 3, a mysterious illness is affecting Imogen and Marie's mum's boyfriend, and the only solution is to go back to the magical world of Nedobyt to figure out how to stop it from getting worse. 

Dive into this magical world, perfect for fans of Harry Potter, The School for Good and Evil, Nevermoor, Narnia, The Wizards of Once and How to Train Your Dragon. It's full of magic, adventure and a brilliantly built world that will entice readers and help develop language and creativity. 

This is the incredible trilogy by Francesca Gibbons that is bound to become a future classic.
