A witch’s curse. A hidden treasure. A wizard in fluffy slippers.
Nine is an orphan pickpocket with nothing to her name, but when she plucks a beautiful ornament from someone’s purse, she’s sure her luck is about to change.
Instead her treasure grows into an enormous house full of magic, mystery-and ridiculous residents.
But this enchanted place is under a terrible curse that only Nine can break. And she might be willing to help, for something in return..
