The third in a spooky and hilarious new series about a talkative skull and a necromancer-in-training. Read by BBC's Ghosts actress Charlotte Ritchie!
Perfect for fans of Lemony Snicket and Wednesday.
Mallory Vayle and her talkative skull, Maggoty, star in another fabulous adventure!
When Mallory is invited to see Madame Majika deVinckel's magic show, she rolls her eyes... Majika is bound to be a fraud, pretending to have powers she can't possibly have. But Majika appears to be the real deal, and she has good headdresses so of course Maggoty is an immediate fan.
Majika has a proposition for Mallory: help her open the Chest of Secrets and steal its contents, and in return she will help Mallory speak to her dead parents.
But can Mallory trust Majika? And what will happen if she steals what's inside the chest...
With proper laughs and proper scares, this series is not only the perfect Halloween treat but a side-splitting and spine-tingling year-round listen.
Have you listened the spooktastic...
