A shop appears in a Glasgow alley containing rooms made of imagination. Daniel is taken on as an apprentice, and learns what the magic costs.

A story about children, witches and wizards and a grown-up villain, adventurous and spooky in tone. We would put it with children of 8–11, and at a reading age of about 9 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.

Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
