The Ember Wren adventures for young readers, and TWINS, for parents raising two at once.
When every clock in Nanna Violet’s attic loses the same eleven seconds, Ember discovers a living reflection, an ancient key and a doorway into Wetherwild. But Hearthhollow has been frozen for seven years, and Mistress Vire is determined to make Ember finish what Nanna began.
When a voice from Mum’s childhood reaches Ember through the mirror, Wetherwild becomes a family mystery. A damaged crown carries voices and requests, but people who want to leave are still being held. With Mum beside her, Ember must follow the missing answers and discover what happened long before she found the key.
A shard of glass seems to show Ember what will happen next. At first, an early warning feels like a gift. But when helping goes wrong, she must question what the glass reveals and what it leaves out. With Rowan and Quill, Ember returns to Wetherwild for a final mystery about friendship, trust and the courage to choose without knowing everything.
Real stories and practical support from a mother of two sets of twins, written for parents navigating the particular chaos and joy of raising twins.
