Summary

Exploring a sewer near his home, David Hamilton encounters Alphonsus Tooms, a mysterious old man who warns him that the Forces of Chaos have targeted his neighbourhood, Trentham.
 
A supernatural steam engine takes David to meet the long-deceased Duke of Sutherland, who gives him the key to a hidden library. Here he finds a book containing a mirror in its centre. Thereafter, David and his new friend Helen are flung into a series of fantastical and dangerous adventures. Their school is terrorised by a witch and Trentham filled with bats before they're hung out to dry from the stars. But this is only the beginning of the longest day of their lives, in which they must battle demonic strangers, dragons, Wild Riders, giant blackbirds, spectral warriors and more.
 
Can the children defeat Chaos and restore their home town to sanity? All this and it's still only Monday...

    From the author of the bestselling phenomenon The Invisible String comes a transformative picture book to help readers of all ages move through sadness and embrace life’s colors. Jackson has always been chock-full of joy and vibrant colors. But now his joy has dimmed and his colors are fading. It happens so slowly at first that Jackson barely seems to notice. But without all his colors, he feels gray and empty inside. Until one day when someone offers a few words of advice that changes everything: Each day, look for one color you see outside, and think about how it makes you feel. Patrice Karst, author of the modern classic The Invisible String, shows readers how step by step, color by color, joy can return—and shine even more brightly than before—if we pay close attention to the world around us. Additional notes from Dr. Dana Wyss, PhD provide further guidance toward a path to recovery.
