Midsummer’s Eve is about to get a whole lot more magical!

Someone is misusing magic. Curses have been cast and terrifying creatures are on the move …

Twelve-year-old Pinch Perkins lives on Tricky Dragon Lane, deep in the heart of London’s magical quarter. But when her mum is struck by a curse, and nobody seems to have a clue what to do, Pinch knows it’s down to her to find a cure.

Racing the clock on Midsummer's Eve, Pinch will face the terrifying boss of the Thames Mudlarks, dance with the devious fairy king and queen, and share a burger with King Arthur's knights – all the while trying to avoid the clutches of two most fearsome villains …

About the Author

Cathy FitzGerald is a writer and documentary-maker. She's a regular contributor to BBC Radio 4, 3 and the World Service as presenter and producer, making programmes on subjects including magic carpets, love letter ghost-writing and why we like looking at blue sky. Her documentaries have won many prizes, including Arias, Third Coast Festival and Whicker's World. Radio Times called her 'one of radio's most original' creators. She has a DPhil in the work of Charles Dickens. Chloe Dominique is an Illustrator and Concept Artist from the UK working in Animation, Video Games and Publishing. Her work is driven by a love of storytelling, which she explores through design, colour and light in her illustrations. Chloe often finds herself drawn to projects that are full of heart, adventure and charm, with a special fondness for the offbeat and mysterious. When she's not drawing, Chloe enjoys reading, walks along the coastline on blustery days with her Dog of Mischief, Loki, and finding peculiar treasures in antique shops.
