The second in a brilliant time-slip adventure series by the award-winning author of Things a Bright Girl Can Do.

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

Fun-filled, action-packed adventures in time from best-selling, award-winning author, Sally Nicholls. When Alex and Ruby fall through the mirror in their aunt's house, they find themselves in a different historical period, each time with a different task to perform before they can return to the present. From Edwardian crime capers to Victorian Christmasses, their time-slip stories are always exciting and beautifully told.

A Victorian Christmas is lovely - all the food and candles and games and singing - unless you're poor, motherless Edith who is condemned to be sent to a cruel boarding school on Boxing Day. Can Alex and Ruby persuade her strict father that home is where the heart is instead?

Classic storytelling from a brilliant writer and beautifully illustrated throughout by Rachael Dean, with covers by Isabelle Follath. One of these books is never enough!

About the Author

Sally Nicholls was born in Stockton-on-Tees, just after midnight, in a thunderstorm. She spent most of her childhood trying to make real life as much like a book as possible. Her first book, Ways to Live Forever, won the Waterstones Children's Book Prize in 2008 and in 2015 her book An Island of Our Own was shortlisted for the Costa children's prize. Sally lives in a little house in Oxford, writing stories and trying to believe her luck.

Rachael Dean is a UK based freelance illustrator, who lives on the coast near Liverpool. She studied Graphic Design and Illustration at Liverpool John Moore's University, and graduated in 2017 with a First Class Honours degree. Rachael works traditionally painting images which are vivid and bold. She has a penchant for pattern but her real passion lies in the outdoors and travelling. She loves to gather inspiration from beautiful scenes of nature, which is often reflected in her work. Rachael's clients include Andersen Press, Chicken House, Nosy Crow, Egmont, Puffin and Penguin Random House US.
