What is House of Many Ways about?
When Charmain Baker is asked to look after her great-uncle’s magical house, she expects a quiet life of books and study. Instead, the house has doors leading to many places, and Charmain soon finds herself tangled in a royal mystery. Alongside a nervous young wizard, a mysterious dog and the familiar Howl, Sophie and Calcifer, she must face dangerous magic, secret passages and troublesome creatures. To save the kingdom, Charmain will need to become far braver—and more resourceful—than she ever imagined.
