Summary

Discover the weird and wonderful world of Maudlin Towers – brilliantly written and illustrated throughout by Chris Priestley in this striking and funny package. 
 
Mildew and Sponge don't think much of Maudlin Towers, the blackened, gloom-laden, gargoyle-infested monstrosity that is their school. But when a meteorite crash-lands in the school grounds, things become even stranger than they have ever been before!  
 
Not only do a group of schoolgirls and their teacher turn up needing somewhere to stay, but further investigation of the meteorite soon proves that it might be a spaceship. Could aliens be hiding in the school grounds somewhere? (You might have spotted them already!) Plus, has anyone noticed a giant eyeball floating about the place?  
 
Most importantly, can Mildew and Sponge save the day – and the school – once more? 
 
This hugely funny, deliciously creepy and action-packed series is perfect for 8+ readers who like their mysteries with a twist. Fans of Lemony Snicket and Chris Riddell will love Maudlin Towers.

    “An imaginative and light-hearted fantasy adventure novel that has bags of energy, humor and originality. This is a book to be enjoyed by children” (The Book Reviewers).   The first in a trilogy, The Uncooperative Flying Carpet tells the story of Sabrina Summers, her brother, Rory, and her friends, whose lives are turned upside down when Sabrina’s father marries someone she suspects is a witch. Accidentally sent to the strange land of Dralfynia and turned into old-fashioned fairytale characters, Sabrina, Rory, Olive, and Persis must battle bats, witches, and goblins, deal with betrayal and mistrust, and get back home before they’re grounded for life. To do that, they’ll need to work as a team, but with only an uncooperative flying carpet and a unicorn with gas to help them, will they ever get back to Melas? And when they do, what will they find waiting for them?   “Clever, witty, imaginative . . . You can pick it up and read for ten minutes and come back but you won’t; it is too exciting for that.” —Bobs Books Blog
