When 13 year old Maria Merryweather's father dies, leaving her orphaned and homeless, she is forced to leave her luxurious London life to go and live with Sir Benjamin, an eccentric uncle she didn't know she had, at the mysterious Moonacre Manor.
Mia has locked herself inside her recently deceased mother's rundown, crumbling house. Armed with a litany of books detailing ancient cultures and rituals, she tries desperately to reach out to the other side and speak to her mother. But when she succeeds, she gets more than she bargained for. Waiting alongside her mother is something monstrous, something that Mia recognises instantly. As she tries to survive the night and escape the ritual alive, Mia is forced to confront a variety of evils - ones from both without, and from within.
Pearlie is a tiny fairy with a big heart, and equally big plans. With the help of her two best friends - outback fairy Opal and lazy right-hand elf Jasper - she's in charge of taking care of her home, Jubilee Park, and all the residents that live there. Standing in her way is her jealous cousin Saphira, who plots to get her fired.
