The house is shaking, colors are sparkling, things are starting to break…
and did that toy start moving?

Thirteen-year-old Marley is convinced that Christmas is just for little
kids and that magic doesn’t exist, but when she and her siblings
tiptoe downstairs in the middle of the night to take a sneak peek at their
stockings, she’s about to discover that magic is more real than she
ever imagined…

When the children’s toys start coming to life, Marley will need to
think fast if she’s to protect her siblings from rampaging dinosaurs
and wild monkeys. The fate of them all depends on whether she can find the
right kind of magic.

This thrilling and heartwarming adventure is a beautiful tale of a big
sister who has forgotten the joys of Christmas.

 

About the Author

Hilary Hauck

Christmas has always been Hilary Hauck’s favorite time of year.
Growing up in the United Kingdom, Christmas meant family gatherings, turkey
and stuffing, crackers, mince pies, charades, and the Queen’s speech
in the afternoon.

According to Hilary, every child should have magic in their life, and
stories enlighten us with the endless ways magic is all around. Why did she
write this story about the wrong kind of magic? Well, because sometimes we
need to feel the wrong kind of something before we know what the right kind
looks and feels like.

Hilary is also the author of From Ashes to Song, inspired the true story of
three Italians who immigrated to Pennsylvania ninety years before she did.
She has written short stories for Like Sunshine After Rain and anthologies
in the Mindful Writers Retreat Series.

She grew up in the UK and has also lived in Italy. She lives on a small
patch of woods in rural Pennsylvania with her husband and a cat with a
penchant for laundry. Visit her at www.hilaryhauck.com.

photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png

The Mulberry Mansion harbors more than one peculiar mystery. Vintage circus
freak decor, oddly decorated bed chambers, and sensational sandwiches are
just the beginning of the phenomena. Deep within the attic, twelve-year-old
Cloette and her brother, Rocco, discover a twisted glowing blanket fort
magically hovering, luring them to enter. From within, they uncover the
“Ticklish Tome”, an enchanted ticklish book that sucks them away
into the eerie realm of Neverwood.

The remarkable land is under an unusual incantation from the wildly wicked
Wretched Harridan and is in need of help only the siblings can provide. But
the reluctant heroes doubt their abilities to help against such a devilish
fearsome foe. With their one chance to break the spell quickly approaching,
the race against time is quickly vanishing.

Will Cloette and Rocco discover their own powers in order to save the
enchanted realm of Neverwood?

Can they rescue Prism, the most magical dark unicorn in existence?

Will they have any hope of ever returning home?

Will they ever taste sensational sandwiches ever again?

EXCERPT

My Dearest Word Wooer, 

What you hold in your hands is Magic. You have chosen well. You must be very wise, dignified, and with an enormous amount of gas ( oops … excuse me, I meant to say … an enormous amount of courage … to be brave enough to open the pages of this Dark and Twisted Ticklish Tome. Do be careful when reading this, however, … it’s not for just anyone, you know. It’s meant for magical book lovers like you. 

Sooo? 

Are you hungry for something yummy? Something scrumdiddlyumptious

Great! 

Let’s get ready. 

First, you must prepare yourself and your surroundings for little interruption. Put on your snuggliest, softest, sensuous sleepsuit. Assemble yourself a cup of hot cocoa with extra marshmallows, ( I do really love marshmallows). And then, you must hide yourself within a fluffy fort made of blankets. Be sure to have around you, a pile of pillows, stuffed animals, and a stomach full of sandwiches … you’ll thank me later. 

You’ll also need some kind of light … so you can see. I can’t do everything for you, you know. 

With all my best flatulations, 

  Me
