Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The weather in Whistwick is chosen by whoever wins the race. When new girl Odette wins the Saturday race, she does everything right. She studies the wheel, adjusts her grip, and spins a clean, careful arc that lands exactly where she aimed: rain. One sensible, ordinary week of rain. What arrives instead is thunder. Not the crashing kind. The continuous, low, relentless kind that settles into the walls of every building in town and the backs of every eye and simply doesn't stop. Three days later, Whistwick is exhausted and irritable and convinced Odette made a mistake. Odette says she chose correctly. Nobody believes her. Nobody except Casey. Casey has fixed a weather problem before - and knows that the Whistwick system is more complicated than it looks. Deep under the town square, beneath the Weather Wheel platform, is a chamber nobody knew existed. Inside it, two iron dials that haven't agreed on anything in three days. And fixing them will require someone on the mountain at exactly the same moment as someone underground. Which means Casey is going to have to ask for help. A funny, fast-paced adventure about believing someone when nobody else will, asking for help before it's too late, and the surprising things you find under cobblestone squares. Perfect for readers aged 6-10 who love mysteries, adventure stories, and characters who are right even when everyone says they're wrong. The Whistwick Series: Book Two. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In Whistwick, the weather is chosen by whoever wins the race. On Saturday night, two moons appear in the sky. Not a smear or a blur or a trick of cold air. A clean, separate, perfectly real reflection sitting below and to the left of the correct moon, rising when it rises, setting when it sets, casting its doubled light across every rooftop and cobblestone in Whistwick. The town doesn't feel wrong. Nobody is cold or frightened. But something has gone out of the nights. The lamplight does nothing against the brightness. The late bakery loses the atmosphere it depends on. Children who need proper darkness to sleep aren't sleeping. Night birds leave the garden walls. The conversations that people only have in proper darkness stop happening. Whistwick has become a town that is always observed. Under the ruins on the eastern hill, sealed since 1901, a reflective lens panel in an old observatory chamber has been tilting for over a century. Nobody knew it was there. Nobody knew what it was connected to. Casey knows what it's connected to. Because Casey has been inside all the previous rooms. The resonance chamber and the chromatic register and the ventilation corridor and the solar disc and the fountain gap. Has stood at every instrument and felt how the system worked from the inside. Has accumulated, without planning to, the kind of understanding that no document fully captures. This investigation belongs to Casey. A funny, human adventure about the knowledge that only comes from paying attention long enough, and the town that needed someone who had. Perfect for readers aged 6-10 who love mysteries, adventure, and characters who have quietly become exactly who they needed to be. The Whistwick Series: Book Six.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In Whistwick, the weather is decided by whoever wins the race. Every Saturday, the children of Whistwick race around the town square. The winner climbs the platform, spins the Weather Wheel, and chooses the forecast for the whole week. It's the best system anyone has ever invented - unless you win by accident. Casey didn't mean to win. A small orange cat made a very poor life decision at exactly the wrong moment, and suddenly Casey was standing at the Weather Wheel in front of the entire town with no idea what to do. One bad spin later, Whistwick is buried in a blizzard that wasn't in anyone's plans. There's only one way to fix it: climb Storm Peak, find the Original Weather Wheel at the summit, and tell the truth about what really happened. That would be easy, except the mountain is in a blizzard, Casey's best friend Milo is coming regardless of whether he's been invited, and the only person who actually knows the way is Petra Voss - Casey's biggest rival, who is already correct about everything and not happy about any of this. A funny, fast-paced adventure about honesty, unlikely alliances, and the specific bravery required to tell the truth when you really, really don't want to. Perfect for readers aged 6-10 who love adventure stories, funny characters, and the occasional accidental blizzard. The Whistwick Series: Book One.…
