Ollie Brewer doesn’t like his new school.
He doesn’t like being called “Frenchy” by bullies who can’t point to France on a map. He especially doesn’t like that books keep falling off his shelf for no reason.
Then one day, a snow globe winks at him.
Literally.
Soon, Ollie’s being flung into a world of impossible towers, singing Nards, and clingy blue monsters who sob when you try to leave. There’s a broken world to fix, a cog-wearing king to challenge, and a bear in his coat who burps strawberry thunder.
He didn’t sign up for magic lessons.
He just wanted to survive Year 4.
But sometimes, all it takes to change the world is one scared kid, one flickering torch, and a really good eyebrow wiggle.
A wildly funny, big-hearted adventure about facing the dark – inside and out – and discovering that monsters aren’t always what they seem.
