Maggie O'Farrell, the award-winning author of Hamnet, delivers a mischievous tale of ancient magic and modern-day moodiness.When Jem and his family first move to a small town, he struggles with his new life. The unhappier he grows, the stranger things become-mischief and chaos seem to bloom everywhere. His sister Verity is sure it is the work of a nouka, an ancient creature that lives deep down inside the hill above the town-a creature forged from the sparks of a long-extinct volcano. Jem is adamant that there is no such thing. But it is through the magic and mayhem of this small mystical creature that Jem finally finds a sense of belonging, a sense of home-and once again discovers a spark of magic.
