Ivy Newt and the Time Thief by Derek Keilty
Ivy Newt has a new mystery to solve. Why does the spooky house over the bay only appear for one day every Halloween?
Naturally Ivy's parents have forbidden her to go investigating the creepy old house, and naturally she sets off with Tom 'just to fly over and have a look'! Soon they are wrapped up in a new adventure: a race against time to break a powerful spell and outwit a crazy sorcerer, all before the last stroke of midnight ...
Introducing Magpie Meg, a witch whose thieving habits have got her into trouble, and Thaddeus Creep, a reclusive sorcerer with a grudge against almost everyone especially interfering children. All illustrated in Magda Brol's funny and characterful style and set in atmospheric new corners of the world of Miracula.

About the Illustrator
Magda was born in Wroclaw, Poland, where she graduated with a degree in Business and Environmental Sciences. After a few years working in the City of London and the birth of her two girls, Magda dived into the magical world of picture books and turned her passion for drawing into a dream job. She is inspired by all things Nordic and would love to see her favourite character, Sven the Moose, in a picture book one day. Magda lives in the leafy and very hilly part of London called Gipsy Hill, with her family, a Cypriot dog and a canary bird. When she's not drawing, you might spot her rollerblading around London or at the local ice rink.
