When a small, ancient Irishman appears on a school fence post eating a cheese sandwich, entirely invisible to almost everyone — fifteen-year-old Immie Whitfield is not entirely surprised. She has always been able to draw characters who step off the page and speak to her. She has always known the world was stranger than it appeared.She doesn't know her estranged grandfather is a magician. She doesn't know that an organisation called the Collectors has been watching her family for years. She doesn't know that her grandfather's time is running out — and that she is destined to inherit his gift.Immie learns the true nature of what she will inherit, and builds a circle of magically gifted allies who are destined to help her identify and destroy The Collectors. A fifteen-year-old girl from Perth who refuses to look away from people discovers that this, more than anything, is where the magic lives.
