British Isles (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland)

Gigan Ticks foretell the end of time. The world is beginning to 
fade. As the NIGHTMARE army advances, can Fletcher and Scoop cross the 
Threshold into our world? Will they be able to reunite their creators, 
before they slip into oblivion? Fletcher and Scoop are apprentice 
adventurers at Blotting's Academy, where all Story Characters are 
trained. Join them on their final feat as they discover the cost of 
crossing the Boundary in Daniel Ingram Brown's thrilling conclusion to 
the Firebird Chronicles.

The Firebird Chronicles: Through the Uncrossable Boundary

They say only the dead can cross a Threshold, the dead and those 
who have faced a Nemesis Charm. When Apprentice Adventurers, Fletcher 
and Scoop, discover their mother has fallen under the curse of a strange
 sickness, they prepare to sail for its source, a Threshold, a doorway 
to the world beyond the Un-Crossable Boundary. But they are not the only
 ones seeking to cross the Threshold. Their old enemy, Grizelda, has 
heard that beyond the Boundary lives a woman with the same power as the 
Storyteller. With the help of a monster made with an undead heart, she 
plans to cross the Boundary and steal that power for herself. If she 
succeeds, the Academy, the island and everything in Fletcher and Scoop's
 world will be hers.

The Firebird Chronicles: The Nemesis Charm

In this fantasy adventure, Fletcher and Scoop are Apprentice 
Adventurers from the ancient establishment of Blotting's Academy on 
Fullstop Island. This is the place where all story characters are 
trained. The trouble is, they can't remember how they got there. It's 
the first day of term, but the two apprentices soon realise something is
 wrong. Things are going missing, including their own memories, and 
Scoop has the unsettling feeling that something is creeping in the 
shadows. As the children search for answers, they become entangled with 
the life of the Storyteller, the islands creator and king. They journey 
to his wedding banquet and find themselves uncovering a hidden past. 
What is their connection to this mysterious man? And is there more to 
him than meets the eye?

The Firebird Chronicles: Rise of the Shadow Stealers

The future can be rewritten. On the eve of 
her 12th birthday, Beatrice Crosse runs away from her adoptive home only
 to encounter the ghost of England's most famous prophetess. The witch 
offers her treasure, but can she be trusted? Bea must wrestle her past 
to discover the witch's secret and find her way home.
