    About this audiobook

    Midsummer’s Eve is about to get a whole lot more magical!

    Someone is misusing magic. Curses have been cast and terrifying creatures are on the move …

    Twelve-year-old Pinch Perkins lives on Tricky Dragon Lane, deep in the heart of London’s magical quarter. But when her mum is struck by a curse, and nobody seems to have a clue what to do, Pinch knows it’s down to her to find a cure.

    Racing the clock on Midsummer's Eve, Pinch will face the terrifying boss of the Thames Mudlarks, dance with the devious fairy king and queen and share a burger with King Arthur's knights … all while trying to avoid the clutches of two fearsome villains out to SQUISH her!
