The Strangeworlds Travel Agency
by L. D. Lapinski
Every suitcase in the shop opens onto another world. Flick is made a custodian, and discovers one of the worlds is being drained away.
A story about children and magical creatures, adventurous and funny in tone. We would put it with children of 8–11, and at a reading age of about 9 for reading alone.
Worth knowing before you buy
- Mild peril
None of this makes it a bad book — often the opposite. It is here so you can decide whether it is right for your child now or in a year or two.
Part of a series
This is book 1 of the The Strangeworlds Travel Agency series, so there is more to read if it goes down well — which is worth a great deal with a reluctant reader.

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.
