The Strangeworlds Travel Agency

You’ll love this entertaining, magical adventure.

The Week Junior

Welcome to The Strangeworlds Travel Agency…

When 12-year-old Flick Hudson finds The Strangeworlds Travel Agency, she uncovers a fantastic secret: there are hundreds of other worlds just steps away from ours. All you have to do to visit them is jump into the right suitcase. Then Flick gets the invitation of a lifetime: join Strangeworlds’ magical travel society and explore other worlds.

​But, unknown to Flick, the world at the very centre of it all, a city called Five Lights, is in danger. Buildings and even streets are mysteriously disappearing. Once Flick realises what’s happening she must race against time, travelling through unchartered worlds, seeking a way to fix Five Lights before it collapses into nothingness — and takes our world with it.

A heart-warming story about friendship

This is a heart-warming story about friendship.  If you're a fan of Abi Elphinstone, then you will love this book as much as I did.  Rating 5 out of 5.

Magic and fantasy

This is a book about magic and fantasy.  It is about a 12 year-old girl who explores different worlds and enjoys having adventures.  This is also a mystery and detective book. Mostly, though, it's about friendship.

An adventure with a hint of fairy-tale

I recommend this book for people who are looking for an adventure with a hint of fair-tale.  The motto I would give for this book is never give up and be determined to achieve your goals.

At times funny but also sad

I found that at times it was funny but also sad. As you read on, you find out more about the agency and its owners. In the end, they find out who Flick really is and what she can do. This story was a great read and I want to read the second book.

Isabelle, London

Determined to do what she thinks is right

My favourite character in this book is Flick.  This is not just because she is the main character but because of her personality.  She's curious and she is determined to do what she thinks it right.

An outpost on earth

The Strange Worlds Travel Agency is an intriguing book.  I liked how the Strange Worlds outpost on earth was a little run-down shop that had so many interesting things inside.

Jack, Sussex

It makes you feel that you are there experiencing everything

I really enjoyed reading The Strange Worlds Travel Agency.  The book makes you feel that you are there experiencing everything, like travelling with Jonathan, going into different worlds and each world had a different personality.
