About this listen

Sometimes you are a whisper away from magic without even realising it.

Nine is an orphan pickpocket determined to escape her life in the Nest of a Thousand Treasures. When she steals a house-shaped ornament from a mysterious woman’s purse, she knocks on its tiny door and watches it grow into a huge higgledy-piggeldy house. Inside she finds a host of magical and brilliantly funny characters, including Flabberghast - a young wizard who’s particularly competitive at hopscotch - and a hideous troll housekeeper who’s emotionally attached to his feather duster. They have been placed under an extraordinary spell, which they are desperate for Nine to break - and if she can, maybe they can offer her a new life in return....

I think that the characters in this book are the best type of characters. Nine is easily irritated and sensible and hates people touching her. Eric is an amazing troll housekeeper who you don’t want to accept pancakes from and who doesn’t speak in full sentences or words. Flabbergast is a young hopscotching wizard who is mad and eccentric. Spoon is a spoon who I (from what I know) loves swordfighting. If I had to summarize Flabbergast it would be Mad. Mad is one of the best words to describe a character as.
