The Hippo at the End of the Hall cover

The magical first novel by Kate Greenaway award-winner Helen Cooper.

The invitation was delivered by bees. It wasn't addressed to anyone at all, but Ben knew it was for him. It would lead him to an old, shambolic museum, full of strange and bewitching creatures. A peculiar world of hidden mysteries and curious family secrets . . . and some really dangerous magic. Filled with her own wonderful illustrations, The Hippo at the End of the Hall is Helen Cooper's debut novel.

A fantastical and dreamlike adventure * Sunday Times *

Truly stunning . . . a pleasure to read * Books for Keeps *
