The Spell Tailors by James Nicol
5.0
Look at this gorgeous book! How pretty is the cover?
I've just read this book to my daughter and we really enjoyed it. I'm always excited to read a new book from @chickenhousebooks as they are based here in Frome. Their books are always original and interesting, and this is no exception!
It is about a young spell tailor (someone who stitches magic into a garment) called Hen who is desperately trying to save the family business despite his very uncooperative Uncle Bertie!
He stumbles upon a stitch which can capture a memory and is convinced it could be the answer to their problems - but Uncle Bertie is determined to stop him at every turn!
Such an original idea with great characters and lots of suspense and mystery. A perfect middle-grade read!
