Description
Neil and Liz Maloney's dad is a Weatherman - but not the boring kind that you see on TV. He's the person who makes sure the seasons change every year. This year, though, the Autumn hasn't arrived and the weather is spiralling out of control. Witchcraft is at work, but what do a magical tourist, a bog beast and two hags have to do with the mystery? And can Neil and Liz stop the chaos before it's literally the end of the world? This is a rich, magical fantasy adventure from a talented debut author - a story that readers are sure to fall in love with.
