Nine is an orphan pickpocket who dreams of escaping her life in the Nest of a Thousand Treasures. When she steals a house-shaped ornament from a mysterious woman's purse, she knocks on its tiny door and watches it grow into a huge, higgledy-piggledy house. Inside, she finds a host of magical and brilliantly funny characters, including Flabberghast, a young wizard who is particularly competitive at hopscotch, and a hideous troll housekeeper who is emotionally attached to his feather duster. They have been placed under an extraordinary spell, which they are desperate for Nine to break – and if she can, maybe they can offer her a new life in return.
