Cordelia Hatmaker’s father is missing at sea but, unlike the rest of her family, she is still convinced he is alive and in this sparkling new adventure she is following cryptic clues to his whereabouts, clues discovered on a map hidden in his telescope, together with his handwritten note ‘Look to the stars’.

Unravelling the riddle leads her to make new friends as well as exciting new discoveries about who she is, and what she’s capable of. There’s real magic and charm to Cordelia’s adventures and author Tamzin Merchant fills them with irresistible characters and memorable scenes. There are lots of great stories set in other worlds, but Cordelia’s feels particularly real and inviting and the magic has its own distinctive crackle. This is the sort of read that will make your nose tingle, as Cordelia herself might have said.

Cordelia is still trying to find her father, but first she has to confront the evil Lord Witloof again. However, she needs to bring the Makers together in order to defeat him.

Cordelia, the Littlest Hatmaker, lives in Hatmaker House with Aunt Ariadne, Uncle Tiberius and Great-aunt Petronella. Her father, Prospero, has been missing since his ship, the Jolly Bonnet, sank in a storm. Cordelia believes her father is still alive and has found a magic map inside her father’s telescope. She is now trying to unravel the secret of the map in order to find her father. Her friends, Sam Lightfinger, a young street urchin, and Goose, a member of the Bootmakers family, are helping her.

The map leads Cordelia to the secret Society of Mapmakers, but then her arch enemy, Lord Witloof, destroys the library housing the maps, and Cordelia realises that she needs to unite the Makers in order to try to defeat Lord Witloof and find her father.... Read Full Review
