Publisher's Synopsis

 

Prepare yourself for even more mischief than before with this gorgeously gothic series!

Malice Morbid Malign isn't like the rest of her family. 

But when her younger sister Antipathy-Rose finds a sphere of solid Amber in one of the forbidden swag rooms at Malignant House, and bites right through it, she unwittingly unleashes a world of trouble. Trapped within the Amber sphere is Maniacal Malign's time-stopping pocket watch. 

Maniacal Malign had been in exile for several centuries but the moment Antipathy-Rose's gnashers crack the Amber, he is summoned back to monstrous action. Malice, Uncle Vex and Seth find themselves on a time-sensitive mission, as they race to retrieve the pocket watch, whilst unravelling Maniacal's malevolent mischief along the way. 

  • The perfect next read for Amelia Fang fans.
  • An ideal gift for readers for Halloween and beyond. 
  • This funny, warm-hearted, spooky series - stunningly illustrated by Hannah Peck, and beautifully packaged - will delight and enchant middle-grade readers aged 8+.
