Eleven year-old Florizel lives in a strange little village called Witchetty Hollow. When the notorious Gobbelino family open the Daydream Delicatessen amongst other new and enticing shops, it’s not long before the mood in the village changes from order to chaos, as grown ups begin to trade everything they have for just one more dream!
Florizel and her new sack-child friend, Burble, race to stop the Gobbelino’s from stealing from those they love – not just their money and possessions but their very souls! With time not on their side, the friends enter the dark and dreary pawnshop only to discover the Gobbelino’s have a sinister side-hustle going on behind the factory doors.
Mind-warping ingredients that affect everyone who eats their seemingly harmless delicacies dare to threaten the villagers very existence. Witchetty Hollow will never be the same again. Missing people, Stork Services that grab children off the streets and guisers who lurk in the shadows capturing vulnerable people, make Victoria Williamson’s ‘The Pawnshop of Stolen Dreams’ a fantastically dark and mysterious adventure the likes you’ve never read before. Beautifully illustrated by James Brown, this incredible story of friendship, love and huge leaps into the great unknown, will remain with you for a long time after reading the last page.
Victoria Williamson volunteers for ‘CharChar Literacy’ – a percentage of the author’s royalties will be donated to this charity in Malawi to support their work helping the children there achieve their reading potential.
