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
This book follows on from the Crooked Sixpence, it is called The Smoking Hourglass. Ivy and Seb have managed to rescue their parents from Lundinor. In this adventure, Ivy and Seb are back in Lundinor but this time it is in Springtime. They keep finding symbols of hourglasses everywhere. Wherever there is this symbol evil is not far behind! Ivy and Seb have to stop the the darkness from taking over Lundinor. Will the children bring Light back to Lundinor, will they discover who the evil culprit who is? Read this book to find out! It is a fictional story. The genre is Fantasy. I would recommend this book to children who love fantasy and adventure stories. The character I liked best is Valian because he is quick thinker, he is able to help the children escape tricky situations.
