Synopsis

Twelve Nights is the perfect fantasy novel for fans of the magical worlds of Philip Pullman and Terry Pratchett. ********** Kay felt everything change in the room around her. Everything. Kay's father is working late- as usual. Fed up, her mother bundles Kay and her sister into the car, and drives to his Cambridge college to collect him. But, the staff say nobody by his name has ever worked there. When they return home, Kay discovers a card left on her pillow: Will O. de Wisp, Gent. F.H.S.P. and Phillip R. T. Gibbet, Gent. F.H.S.P. K.Bith. REMOVALS. That night, Kay is woken by voices at her window: the voices of Will and Phillip, the Removers. But they are not human. And Kay shouldn't be able to see them. Except she can... ********** Andrew Zurcher has created a world as captivating as Lyra's Oxford and Alice's Wonderland. Join Kay and the Removers on their incredible journey.

Media Reviews
A sinister literary debut combining action and fantasy * Express *
If you love Philip Pullman or CS Lewis, you'll love this dream-like read. * Top of the Pops Magazine *
It's a great beginning. Kay's a lovely protagonist. The jeopardy is strong and Zurcher's use of language is beautiful. He's a lyricist of an author which makes this not insubstantial novel quite easy to read * Starburst Magazine *
Packed full of a story that is bursting off the page and begging to be made into a Harry Potter like movie. This is one amazing book. * ThirteenFourteen *
A must for introducing readers to a brave new world * Angels and Urchins *
Frequently beautiful and poetic. ? * Armadillo Magazine *
Stories do not always end as you would expect. This is no ordinary ghost story. * Best New Children's Books Guide - Independent Bookshop Week *
