Summary

Bronte Mettlestone is 10 years old when her parents are killed by pirates.

This does not bother her particularly: her parents ran away to have adventures when she was a baby. She has been raised by her aunt Isabelle, with assistance from the Butler, and has spent a pleasant childhood of afternoon teas and riding lessons. Now, however, her parents have left detailed instructions for Bronte in their will. Instructions that, annoyingly, have been reinforced with faery cross-stitch, which means that if she doesn't complete them, terrible things could happen! She travels the kingdoms, perfectly alone, delivering gifts to 10 other aunts: a farmer aunt who owns an orange orchard, a veterinarian aunt who specialises in dragon care, a pair of aunts who captain a cruise ship, and a former rock star aunt who is now the reigning monarch of a small kingdom.

But as she travels from aunt to aunt, Bronte suspects there might be more to this journey than the simple delivery of treasure.

Outstanding!

An exciting read. With lots of mystery and excitement this is a story that you won't want to put down until you have read the whole book. It certainly did not disappoint!

Charming, lively and original

This is a delightful story. It has a quick pace and is full of adventure, with good twists and puzzles. The writing is fresh and funny, with a strong and appealing heroine backed up by a large cast of quirky and likeable characters. Although there is plenty of peril and danger, it is also very cozy and comforting. Excellent fun for children and adults. I've now both read and listened to it, and passed the hard copy on to a ten year old who has given it a vigorous thumbs up. I found the reader a little high pitched- she does sound the age of the heroine- but she has excellent dramatic range.
