Synopsis

<p><b>'Perfect for fans of Lemony Snicket' – <i>a Book of the Year in the i News</i></b><br><b>'A whirligig of adventure' –<i> The Telegraph</i></b><br><b>_______________</b><br><br><b>Bronte Mettlestone is ten years old when her parents are killed by pirates.</b><br><br>This does not bother her much: her parents ran away to have adventures when she was a baby. She has been raised by her Aunt Isabelle, with assistance from the Butler, and has spent a pleasant childhood of afternoon teas and riding lessons. Now, however, her parents have left detailed instructions for Bronte in their will. (Instructions that, annoyingly, have been reinforced with faery cross-stitch, which means that if she doesn't complete them, terrible things could happen) She must travel the kingdoms alone, delivering gifts to ten other aunts: a farmer aunt who owns an orange orchard, a veterinarian aunt who specializes in dragon care, a pair of aunts who captain a cruise ship, and a former rock star aunt who is now the reigning monarch of a small kingdom.<br><br>But as she travels from aunt to aunt, Bronte suspects there might be more to this journey than the simple delivery of treasure; though little does she suspect that she will have to play such a big part in the extraordinary events that follow.<br><br><b>Fans will also love book II in the series:</b><br>9781913101107 <i>The Slightly Alarming Tale of the Whispering Wars</i></p>
