When Dilly arrives on the island of Ollipest, she is unsure what to expect from her new life. She certainly doesn't expect to find magic!

Until now, the magic of Ollipest Island has been a well-kept secret. Then the Museum of Lost Umbrellas opens after many years of closure. And when the museum attracts some unsavoury anti-magic outsiders, Dilly must unlock her ancestral powers to help keep the island safe.

A dazzling, epic adventure where witches fly with umbrellas, magical dogs walk out of the sea, and pet parrots suddenly become humans. This will keep readers on the edge of their seats and leave them desperate for the next instalment.
