Description
NOT AVAILABLE TO AMERICAN READERS AT PRESENT.
Ivy Pocket is a twelve-year-old maid of no importance, with a very lofty opinion of herself. Dumped in Paris by the Countess Carbunkle, who would rather run away to South America than continue in Ivy’s companionship, our young heroine (of sorts) finds herself with no money and no home to go to ... until she is summoned to the bedside of the dying Duchess of Trinity.
For the princely sum of £500 (enough to buy a carriage, and possibly a monkey), Ivy agrees to courier the Duchess’s most precious possession – the Clock Diamond – to England, and to put it around the neck of the revolting Matilda Butterfield on her twelfth birthday. It’s not long before Ivy finds herself at the heart of a conspiracy involving mischief, mayhem and murder.
Illustrated in humorous gothic detail by John Kelly, Anyone But Ivy Pocket is just the beginning of one girl's deadly comic journey to discover who she really is ...
Marketing Plan
Bloomsbury's lead middle grade title for spring 2015 will launch with a wildly extravagant publicity and marketing campaign for this bestseller-in-the-making
An extraordinary and distinctive new voice in children's literature – Ivy Pocket is the best anti-heroine to come along in years
Dark humour and unreliable narration make this the perfect series to fill the gap left by Lemony Snicket
