Emily Feather and the Enchanted Door Be careful which door you open. Everyone thinks Emily’s house is cool. It has so many different doors and everything is mismatched and sometimes it feels like maybe the walls have moved. But that would be silly. Of course they couldn’t have… But little do people realize that behind some doors lie other worlds, full of magic and wonder. And Emily is soon going to discover this for herself…
Emily Feather and the Secret Mirror Emily knows about the other worlds that lie behind the odd doors in her house. And she knows that her family are the gatekeepers of those doors. And that her family are actually fairies. Emily wishes she had fairy powers too. Especially to deal with the bullies at school. If only she could find a way to take some of the magic with her…
Emily Feather and the Chest of Charms Emily doesn’t like the boy her older sister, Lory, keeps bringing home. There’s something untrustworthy about him, though Emily can’t put her finger on exactly what. Soon she discovers Lory is in danger! The boy has tricked her into taking him through the doors into the fairy world. Can Robin, Lark and Emily get Lory back? They must go through the attic, which Emily didn’t even know existed, to sneak into the fairy world. Will they find Lory in time?
Emily Feather and the Starlit Staircase When Emily finds out her adopted mother is pregnant, she can’t help feeling upset. This means there will be another brother or sister who will actually belong, unlike her. They will also be a fairy and have magical powers. Then her brother, Robin, takes Emily through one of the enchanted doors to show her a magical alternative life, that might have been had Emily not become part of their family.
