But when her younger sister Antipathy-Rose finds a sphere of solid Amber in one of the forbidden swag rooms at Malignant House, and bites right through it, she unwittingly unleashes a world of trouble. Trapped within the Amber sphere is Maniacal Malign's time-stopping pocket watch. Maniacal Malign had been in exile for several centuries but the moment Antipathy-Rose's gnashers crack the Amber, he is summoned back to monstrous action. Malice, Uncle Vex and Seth find themselves on a time-sensitive mission, as they race to retrieve the pocket watch, whilst unravelling Maniacal's malevolent mischief along the way. The perfect next read for Amelia Fang fans. This funny, warm-hearted, spooky series - stunningly illustrated by Hannah Peck, and beautifully packaged - will delight and enchant middle-grade readers aged 8+
