Description

A funny, magical and hugely original new series from internationally bestselling author Cecelia Ahern.

Mia is ten years old and has just moved to her new foster home with Detective Lucy. And Mia has a secret – she can speak to inanimate objects. That’s not the weird part, though – the amazing thing is that the objects speak back! Hats, toasters, pens – Mia can understand them all.

And with the help of these everyday objects, Mia can solve mysteries! Like for instance – how exactly did a fire start in her new classroom…?

Warm, funny, highly original and illustrated throughout in black and white, this is the start of a brand-new series for 7+ readers by beloved, globally bestselling author Cecelia Ahern.
