Product description

‘Are you brave?’

When the mysterious Amelia Pigeon turns up at Kirby’s bedroom window in the dead of night, this is the question she asks him—right before they tumble into a world of ancient malevolent spirits who have torn their way into Kirby’s quiet seaside village.

Kirby isn’t feeling brave at all. His mother is in a coma following a freak (or was it?) accident, and he’s hardly talking to his dad. He’s convinced a spider is spying on him, and now a weird girl in a yellow raincoat - who claims to be a powerful, evil-banishing Shadowsmith - is dragging him into unknown danger. How brave is he really?

Ross MacKenzie, author of award-winning The Nowhere Emporium, weaves a world of magic and adventure which twists and turns magnificently, and keeps thrilled young readers guessing right to the end.

Ross Mackenzie

Ross MacKenzie is the author of fantasy adventure Zac and the Dream Pirates. He grew up in Renfrew, just outside Glasgow, and knew from a young age that he wanted to be a writer. In fact, he completed his first illustrated book – about a crocodile called “Crunchy Colin” – in a smuggled school jotter when he was seven. Ross studied graphic design at college, and after graduating went on to become a page designer for the Daily Record.

Ross still lives in Renfrew with his wife Aileen and their young daughter but he spends most of his spare time in another world.
