The family business was chocolate making, but not just any kind of chocolate, magical chocolate, run by triplet brothers, Pierre, Marcel and Isadore.
The house was the workshop for the Spoffard Bros., Established 1927, with Uncle Pierre living upstairs. When we first meet eleven-year old twins Oz and Lily, it is the start of summer break and they are driving to 18 Skittle Street to check out the house that their father has inherited from his (long dead) great-uncle Pierre.
In The Whizz Pop Chocolate Shop, with great cover art by Tyson Mangelsdorf, the magic is all in our world, London to be exact. In The Little Secret, Jane finds herself shrunken and held captive in a miniature kingdom of fairies and elves that exists inside an elaborately painted box.
The fantastic cover and interior illustrations by Bill Carman proved every bit as wonderful a discovery as the writing of Saunders herself. I discovered the British author Kate Saunders because I was drawn to the cover of her 2009 book, The Little Secret.
