These books take readers to the land of Wreathenwold, where dark secrets are lost amongst a vast labyrinth of streets. And navigating it are eleven-year-old Benjamiah Creek, together with a doll that can transform into a bird and three friends: Elizabella, Mea and Silas. Their adventures are full of twists, turns, magic and danger... And to bring the books to life, we get beautiful black-and-white illustrations throughout!
If you are unsure whether you might enjoy reading this series, imagine Philip Pullman's worldbuilding, the adventure of Skandar and the beautiful writing of Impossible Creatures. Do also check out our Best Magical and Fantasy Series for 9 and 10 year olds blog post.
