Edie and the Box of Flits
Kate Wilkinson | Illustrated by Joe Berger
Description
While travelling on the Underground, Mind the Flits.
When eleven-year-old Edie Winter finds a mysterious wooden box on the London Underground she’s amazed to discover that it’s home to a family of Flits – tiny winged foragers who are only visible to children under thirteen. But Impy, Speckle and Nid need Edie’s help. Not only do they want supplies (rice crispies, sugar sprinkles, digestive biscuits and raisins) and someone to look after them, they’ve also been separated from their brother Jot and the rest of their family.
Meanwhile, mysterious green winged birds have been flying around London stealing people’s shiny valuables.
It is up to Edie to find out what’s been lost and what’s being hidden.
Set against the backdrop of London and its Underground network, EDIE AND THE BOX OF FLITS is a story about friendship, family and noticing the little things in life.
