Toots and the Upside-Down House

by Carol Hughes, J. Garett Sheldrew (Illustrator)

Overview

If only Toots hadn't been so angry with her father. If only she hadn't run home by herself. If only she hadn't seen the fairy on the ceiling. . . .

But then again, if things had been different, Toots's whole world wouldn't literally have been turned upside-down. And she would never have had the most amazing adventure. . . .

A rare, special book, Toots and the Upside-Down House combines fantasy and adventure with the real, everyday issues of love and loss. This is a dazzling debut novel, one that children--and parents--will return to again and again.

About the Author

Carol Hughes grew up in England in a seaside town where her parents kept a small hotel. As a child, she loved standing on her head and wondering what it would be like to walk on the ceiling. When she got older, she went to Brighton College of Art to study painting, but she filled her sketchbooks with notes and stories instead of drawings. Not long afterward, she moved to the United States and began writing. She now lives right-side-up in San Francisco with her husband.
