Product Description
A Victorian fantasy-adventure, perfect for fans of Wildwood, Lemony Snicket and Tensy FarlowAges: 9
High on a cliff above the gloomy coastal town of Withering-by-Sea stands the Hotel Majestic. Inside the walls of the damp, dull hotel, eleven-year-old orphan Stella Montgomery leads a miserable life with her three dreadful Aunts.
But one night, Stella sees something she shouldn't have ... Something that will set in motion an adventure more terrifying and more wonderful than she could ever have hoped for ...
From hugely talented Australian writer-illustrator Judith Rossell comes a thrilling and gripping Victorian fantasy-adventure, the first in an extraordinarily exciting new series.
'Wildly imaginative, darkly funny. I was hooked from the first page.' - Jen Storer, author of tensy Farlow and the Home for Mislaid Children
'Withering-by-Sea is a delightful, thoroughly enjoyable book ... Lots of detail and a sharp ear for cockney-style dialect brings sparkling life to both the setting and characters. this is recommended for fans of Lemony Snicket, 'the Sisters Grimm' and 'Verity Sparks'.' - Australian Books Publishing
