InThe Witching Hours,Anna and Max travel the world with their father, the Professor but their real adventures take place in the dangerous underworld of dark fairies, where the children face sinister creatures and battle for their lives.
Stuck in a leaky beach house by the Australian seaside, all Anna wants is a holiday but in the shadowy ghost town of Mermaids Purse, something strange is going on. A famous explorer has gone missing, leaving behind their research about a long-lost shipwreck: a wreck that may be hiding a dark secret.
In the midst of a violent gale, Anna sets out to explore the town, sure that Max and the Professor will be safe indoors. But with a weird voice calling out to her from across the sea, and a network of cobwebbed tunnels running beneath her feet, Anna is about to learn that this ghost town might not be as empty as it seems
