Felicity Fire - And the Forever Key introduces readers to Felicity, a sharp-witted kid who finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time, or does she?

When hiding from school bullies in an odd antique shop, Felicity Fire finds a mysterious key and is swept away through an unusual door into an enchanted world shimmering with impossible magic and breathtaking wonder. Stranded and with danger lurking around every corner, she is soon joined by some mischievous, loveable and brave new friends, who join her on an unforgettable quest to find a way back home and save the land of forever.

"Bringing his celebrated directorial eye to the page, Mitchell crafts a vivid, fast-paced narrative filled with a stunning world, unforgettable characters, and high-stakes action.

This is the kind of epic adventure I've always dreamed of bringing to life, one where people can feel like they are the main character."
