The Magician's Daughter (Georgie Tanner Series Book 1)

On her first day at St Mary’s School for Particularly Difficult Children, an unwanted girl named Georgie Tanner and her bruised and bullied friend, Thomas Finnigan, sink through a bottomless puddle into a bizarre new world. There they meet a clumsy secret agent who has mistaken Georgie for the daughter of a mysterious figure known as the Great Magician. To get back, they must go undercover in a medieval castle to unravel a sinister plot, and battle a ruthless dark star bent on revenge. Join Georgie and Thomas in this quirky, hair-raising adventure as they learn the dizzying spy code of Batty Latin, play the dangerous sport of combat croquet, and discover a secret about themselves they never would have believed. A hilarious and wholesome fantasy novel for girls and boys, aged 10-14 (and the big kids among us).
