The Bookshop at the Back of Beyond

Nine and her friends team up with an unlikely ally to rescue Spoon's friend from a dangerous witch in this third book in the adventurous, magical, and brilliantly funny The House at the Edge of Magic series.

Nine and her friends have cured the house's hiccups and are off to the strange and utterly unpredictable Back of Beyond in search of Professor Dish--Spoon's best friend and partner in all things alchemy.

When they find Dish trapped by the greedy witch Ophidia in the basement of a particularly marvelous shop, it soon becomes clear they're going to need something more than Flabberghast's dicey magic and Nine's quick thinking to triumph this time.

Perhaps they can find a rather clever witch, one particularly good at curses...
