There are two kinds of magic in Chompas world. The kind her mother favours: writing-magic, which anyone can do if they take the time. Write a spell in Farsi, and wait. Its calm, controlled, safe, says Ammi. Its slow, frustrating, boring, thinks Chompa.</p><p>Then theres finger-magic, which only those descended from ancient djinn are born with. Immediate, powerful - and dangerous, for every act of finger-magic leaves a trace, and comes at a price . . .</p><p>Growing up in an isolated village, hot-headed Chompa has never understood why her mother forbids her from using her potent finger-magic - until, one day, Chompa defies Ammi, and casts a spell. Soon after, a group of pale men attack their home and snatch Ammi.</p><p>In desperate search of her mother, Chompa must travel to another world: to England, and the smoky, bustling streets of East End London, where the powerful Company is transporting magical people like her and Ammi for the most sinister purpose . . .</p>...(*_*)9780241567494_<p><strong>A spellbinding, epic and heart-racing magical adventure from an exquisite new storytelling talent.</strong></p><p>Ahmed Pathak is a wonderful new voice; the book took her years to write, and it shows in the depth and care of each beat of the story - <strong>Katherine Rundell</strong></p><p>Phenomenal - <strong>Sophie Anderson</strong></p><p>One of the best childrens books I have read in a decade - <strong>Louie Stowell</strong></p><p><strong>India, 1855.</strong> The British rule, and all across the country, Indian magic is being stamped out.</p><p>More terrifying still, people born with magic are being snatched from their homes.
