The Lioness of Brumley Hall: And Her Most Unusual Grandchildren (Urwelt Chronicles) Author: Augusta Pearson Benners

Azalea knows everything there is to know about Brumley Hall, even though she is only ten years old. She knows her American grandmother morphs into the Lioness on occasion and refuses to be recruited by spy agencies. She’s knows that Her Ghostly Majesty, Queen Victoria, is particularly fond of sponge cake with layers of jam and whipped cream at tea time. She knows her cousin, Schuyler, can fly through wormholes in times of danger and levitate all the time. She knows her little brother, Bumbles, most definitely cannot levitate. She knows her best friend, Sam, can conjure fireballs to deal with all sorts of pesky vexations, like kidnappers. She knows Schuyler’s friend, Barty, is over one hundred years old, but doesn’t look a day over twelve. She knows that Narcissim Pillage, a greedy plant with swiveling beady eyes, big purple heads and gnashing teeth, must never be healed, well almost never. She knows her grandmother is protecting a very young Tibetan Buddhist monk, who may be the future Dali Lama. She knows the Faerie Queen of Urwelt, who lives deep inside the woods near Brumley Hall, needs the Lioness to help defend her realm against the horrid and truly evil King Ascaric. Azalea knows everything there is to know about Brumley Hall, except what will happen next.
