From the bestselling author of HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON comes book 2 in an out-of-this-world new series packed with epic adventure, thrilling space travel and forbidden Magic - perfect for gifting.
There is no Magic here on Earth. At least, that's what you've been told... But in an ordinary-looking house in an ordinary-looking village, live a group of children who have just uncovered a secret.
A tiny and helpless Magical Creature lost far from home leads the O'Hero-Smith children on another Starcrossing adventure through the Which Ways and across the galaxy. The children have a plan to get little Bug back to the fiery-ice planet where it belongs, and to prove to their parents that they can be trusted with Magic along the way...
But a witch's curse, venomous snowsnakes and a gang of fighter robots are waiting for them through the Which Ways.
The fate of the galaxy is once again in their hands - they better not mess it up!
A family with a Magical secret ...
A child with a powerful Gift ...
A story that is out of this world ...

Praise for Book 1:
'Wild magic ... fabulous' Guardian
'thrill-packed, highly imaginative' The Times
'secrets and lies, monsters and magic' Daily Mail
Magical action all the way. 5 stars * The Sun *
[A]n exciting new adventure * The Week Junior *
Youngsters will be holding their breath as they join the siblings for more space travel, magic, maps, danger and suspense in a story in which fantasy has no bounds. Cowell's gift for mesmerising world-building and her creation of characters you can see and hear is central to this action-packed story which comes with her trademark humour and rich imaginative powers. All galaxies lead to fun and adventure in this magical masterpiece! * Lancashire Evening Post *
[T]his sequel to Which Way to Anywhere (2023) is action-packed. Cowell illustrates nearly every page with exuberantly inky images of grotesque aliens and monster robots, frantic kids, and explosive arrivals and departures. She also chucks in mind-bending notions for clever readers to wrestle with, such as ice that is simultaneously cold and hot.
Clever, silly fun.
