Sometimes you are a whisper away from magic without even realising it. 

Nine is an orphan pickpocket determined to escape her life in the Nest of a Thousand Treasures. When she steals a house-shaped ornament from a mysterious woman’s purse, she knocks on its tiny door and watches it grow into a huge higgledy-piggeldy house. Inside she finds a host of magical and brilliantly funny characters, including Flabberghast - a young wizard who’s particularly competitive at hopscotch - and a hideous troll housekeeper who’s emotionally attached to his feather duster. They have been placed under an extraordinary spell, which they are desperate for Nine to break - and if she can, maybe they can offer her a new life in return....

Mine is not a very likeable character. We liked Eric and Dr Spoon, and felt like the story took a long time to get going.

Enjoyable

I enjoyed listening to the audiobook while doing the laundry; the magical aspects of the house stood out the most for me. I enjoy this one as an introduction to the series, hopefully it gets better until then!
