A wonderfully strange yet poignant tale of accepting the truth about oneself.
Magrit lives in an abandoned cemetery. She is as forgotten as the tiny graveyard that surrounds her. One night a passing stork drops a strange bundle into the graveyard. Master Puppet, her friend and advisor, tells her it is an awful, ugly, terrible thing and that she should get rid of it. But Magrit has other ideas.
Lee Battersby is an award-winning author of horror and science fiction for adults. This is his first book for children. Beautifully strange, unique and evocatively written, it is a story that stays with you long after the last page. Perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman's, Coraline, David Almond and the Spooks series by Joseph Delaney.
