Hope House is more than just a building - it's a place of magic and mystery...

When Amal and her family unexpectedly inherit the enchanted clifftop home, they can't believe their luck.

A page-turning, lyrical mystery with a magical twist, perfect for fans of Matt Goodfellow, Onjali Q. Rauf and Disney's Encanto. Featuring accessible text in verse and beautiful illustrations throughout.
