Following Ivy Sparrow’s discoveries in The Crooked Sixpence, the adventures continue in the second instalment of The Uncommoners trilogy, The Smoking Hourglass.
As soon as Ivy and her brother Seb set foot back in the mysterious underground city of Lundinor, they know that something has changed . . . Where before there were cobbled streets, now the squares and lanes between the city’s enchanted shops are lush with spring blooms – but something dark is stirring just below the surface, and uncommon traders are uneasy. Ivy and Seb have stumbled into a plot that could condemn every uncommoner to a disastrous fate . . . With the help of Valian, their extraordinary friend – and some exceptional uncommon objects – can Ivy and Seb put a stop to the sinister Dirge’s plans?Reviews
I was always ready to read on. I didn't know where it would end. I was certainly surprised.

This is the second book of the Uncommoners Series. It is about two siblings and their friend trying to stop evil ghouls from destroying the city of Landinor. I really enjoyed reading this book and will probably read other books of the series, too

This is a fictional book full of fantasy and fun. Personally, my favorite character was scratch because he is clever and I enjoyed trying to read what he said. But I also liked vallian. This book interested me because I like adventure, magic and a bit of a crazy wardrobe! I recommend it to anyone who is over the age of 9.

I can't quite believe how Alexander Brewster turned evil. It is an amazing book so I would recommend it for all readers.

It is a really exciting and interesting book and it's not just for girls or boys because it has loads of great male and female characters! The plot is GREAT but I would recommend reading the first book in the series (The crooked sixpence) first!
