The Extremely Inconvenient Adventures of Bronte MettlestoneJaclyn MoriartyLabel: Guppy Publishing LtdDescription: 'Perfect for fans of Lemony Snicket' – a Book of the Year in the i News'A whirligig of adventure' – The Telegraph_______________Bronte Mettlestone is ten years old when her parents are killed by pirates.This does not bother her much: her parents ran away to have adventures when she was a baby. She has been raised by her Aunt Isabelle with assistance from the Butler and has spent a pleasant childhood of afternoon teas and riding lessons. Now however her parents have left detailed instructions for Bronte in their will. (Instructions that annoyingly have been reinforced with faery cross-stitch which means that if she doesn't complete them terrible things could happen) She must travel the kingdoms alone delivering gifts to ten other aunts: a farmer aunt who owns an orange orchard a veterinarian aunt who specializes in dragon care a pair of aunts who captain a cruise ship and a former rock star aunt who is now the reigning monarch of a small kingdom.But as she travels from aunt to aunt Bronte suspects there might be more to this journey than the simple delivery of treasure; though little does she suspect that she will have to play such a big part in the extraordinary events that follow.Fans will also love book II in the series:9781913101107 The Slightly Alarming Tale of the Whispering Wars
