The Troublemakers

LoveReading4Kids Says

The utterly wonderful Cordelia Hatmaker needs all her courage, wit, insight and ingenuity in this the third of her magical adventures.

For the first time in her life, soon everyone will be allowed to express themselves using magical ingredients, free from the fear of arrest. But the sudden arrival of the disruptive, even piratical Troublemakers puts everything into doubt again and then they kidnap Prudence Oglethorne, daughter of the rigidly upright Sir Piers, leader of the Sensible party (motto: ‘make Britain sensible again’).

When Cordelia herself ends up on the wrong side of the law, rescuing Prudence seems the only way to win a pardon from the king. The littlest Hatmaker’s journey makes for exhilarating reading, with dangers, new friends, plot twists and magical surprises on almost every page.

Tamzin Merchant has magicked fresh air into the fantasy genre with this series, and this adventure is gloriously inventive, sailing all its readers into a brighter, bolder world.
