An exciting adventure novel for contemporary kids with a fairytale setting, a daring hero and message that you're never too young and powerless to stand up to tyrants!

What happens when a group of school children, led by the resourceful ten-year-old Dance Violet, dare to ask those in power some hard questions? Find out in this magical novel by the bestselling Fleur Beale, stunningly illustrated by Lily Uivel. Ten-year-old orphan Dance Violet might have had a short and troubled history, but it hasn't dampened her warrior spirit - not in the slightest. And that's a good thing, because something is rotten in her village, and no one else has the courage to try to put things right. People have been disappearing overnight and the village children are left to fend for themselves under the tyrannical schoolteachers Murk and Misselthwaite. There are whispers that the trouble started ten years ago when a beautiful but wicked woman - 'the golden-haired hellion' - appeared at a wedding.
