The Whizz Pop Chocolate Shop
The Spoffard family inherits property in London that includes an abandoned chocolate shop. Twins Lily and Oz discover that the chocolate their great-great-uncles made was no ordinary candy - it was magical and the Schmertz Gang is demanding a supply. A talking cat tells them about the Secret Ministry of the Unexplained (SMU) where they can receive help in dealing with goblins, ghosts, and anything unexplained that might be a threat to national security. Thoughtful characters, dynamic plot twists, and a fast pace keep this mystery exciting. A mischievous British fantasy for fans of Harry Potter, Narnia, and Wonderland’s Alice. Ages 9-11
