The Tower at the End of Time

Sparkes, Amy. The Tower at the End of Time. Book 2 of The House at the Edge of Magic. 2022. 273p. ISBN 9781406395327.

Nine and her friends have successfully lifted the curse on their extraordinary, magical House, granting them the freedom to traverse different worlds once again. This time, their initial destination is the highly anticipated Wizarding Hopscotch Championships, where Flabberghast had once competed. However, a significant obstacle quickly arises: the House is experiencing travel anxiety, manifesting as disruptive hiccups that randomly transport them from one world to another every time they occur.

Despite this chaotic journey, they eventually land at the championships, only for Flabberghast to have an unfortunate encounter with square number seven, leading him to the ominous Tower at the End of Time. This unexpected detour might provide the answers they seek to cure the House's peculiar ailment. More importantly, it could finally lead Nine to uncover the identity of the person who bequeathed her the cherished music box, and in doing so, reveal the truth about her own origins.

Humorous and fast-paced, The Tower at the End of Time features strange and wonderful characters with their own missions. Fans of light fantasy will love this fast read.
