Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Each cast member of this Victorian mystery is unusual - there's a wolf girl, a giant, a witch's imp, and a ninja... all cared for by Mama Rat, a curious mother figure with knowledge of the world beneath the cobbled paving stones and magic at her fingertips.

Formerly published as The Peculiars, Kieran has entirely reworked the novel to add further layers of richness and intrigue, along with a brand new character. The book will be illustrated with black and white artwork and is the first in a series. Each book will focus on a different character and a new mystery. This is classic Kieran, and I promise, his very best yet...
