Emily's parents have vanished into the secret world
of the Midnight Hour - a Victorian London frozen in time
- home to magic and monsters.
Emily must find them in the city of the Night Folk, armed only
with a packed lunch, a stowaway hedgehog and her infamously big
mouth.
With bloodthirsty creatures on her tail, Emily
has to discover the truth to rescue her parents. What family secret
connects her to the Midnight Hour? And can she save both worlds
before she runs out of sandwiches?
The critically-acclaimed first book in the much-loved Midnight
Hour series
A hilarious, spooky adventure full of genuine scares
and belly laughs!
Coraline meets A Wrinkle in Time: all

Howl and The Midnight Hunt
