The Travelling Restaurant
An adventure story about greed, rebellion, and finding allies in the most unlikely places.
"Barbara Else has created a rich world, peopled with slightly flawed but lovable characters. The plot crackles, underwritten with a quiet humour." Julia Marshall, Publisher

Description
In the reign of Lady Gall (Provisional Monarch of Fontania), the word magic is forbidden. When 12-year-old Jasper Ludlow’s parents flee the city, he gets left behind. He finds refuge on The Travelling Restaurant, a sailing ship captained by the old Dr Rocket and crewed by the feisty Polly.
Where is Jasper’s baby sister? He journeys across seas and rivers, faces whirlpools, storms, and hungry pirates to find her. Who should he trust—his unreliable uncle, the mysterious journalist in black, or the gutsy, flute-playing orphan? Why did his parents abandon him? Who is the true monarch? Why is Lady Gall hunting him?
