Penny & Luck and the Shadows of Rosehall



A hidden world. A royal quest. Penny and Luck must engineer a daring solution in this action-packed adventure

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe meets A Series of Unfortunate Events in this action-packed adventure based on the hit kids’ STEM podcast Penny & Luck: Inventing Stuff.

When a cancelled summer adventure leads to a portal in her garden, nine-year-old inventor Penny Jones and her trusty dog, Luck, are pulled into the magical world of Zollora. There, they find a kingdom dying from drought and a princess ready for war against the Shadows blamed for stealing the rain.

But in a land of flying bicycles and giant friendly tigers, Penny soon discovers the Shadows aren’t what they seem. With armies marching to battle, can Penny use her inventor’s eye to engineer a solution before it’s too late?

Claire Karwowski’s novel is a whirlwind adventure packed with daring escapades, quirky inventions, and a whole lot of booyah! It’s a heartfelt story that shows the greatest magic comes from the courage to see things differently.
