Author Description

Money's tight in Jasper Tuttle's house. He's not expecting any special summer holiday when Professor Lightship invites his family to guard his boathouse. A hidden shaft leads Jasper and his reluctant companion Emily on a strange and dangerous journey. Traveling through crystal tunnels, they find themselves in the Great Purple Sphere, a doorway to distant worlds. Here they discover talking liquids; plump Quadripeckers; Dr Quebec's Instant Hypnosis Spray (definitely NOT to be used on St Coconut's Day); seven velvet pouches; smelly Grislefly; speedwalking Wrinklebone; cat-sized venom spiders and the hideous, deadly Cloud. With the clock ticking away its mortal micro-tickles, Jasper and Emily are given a vital task. Find Skyclimber. Oh, and save the Universe.
