A stalwart orphan sets out on a spine-tingling adventure in this wildly imaginative and darkly funny Victorian middle grade novel.
High on a cliff above the gloomy Victorian town of Withering-by-Sea stands the Hotel Majestic. Inside the walls of the damp, dull hotel, eleven-year-old orphan Stella Montgomery leads a miserable life with her three dreadful aunts. Stella dreams of adventuring on the Amazon—or anyplace, really, as long as it isn’t this dreary town where nothing ever happens.
Then one night Stella sees something she shouldn’t have. Soon she finds herself on the run from terrifying Professor Stark and his gang of thugs. But how can one young girl outwit an evil magician, much less rescue his poor, mistreated assistant?
With the help of a mysterious maestro, his musical cats, and a lively girl named Gert, Stella Montgomery sets out to do the impossible.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“Readers who enjoyed The Invention of Hugo Cabret will appreciate the atmosphere,adventure, and detail of Withering-by-Sea.” (School Library Journal)
“This charming mystery carries just the right amount of suspense and magic. Stella’s determination to do the right thing makes her an admirable and endearing protagonist whom readers will happily follow anywhere.” (Booklist)
“Middle-grade fans of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events will eat up Withering-by-Sea…Australian author-illustrator Judith Rossell packs every page with details…that would do Roald Dahl proud.” (Shelf Awareness)

This spine-tingling sequel to Withering-by-Sea sees Stella sent away to the moldering old family estate, where she discovers two odd cousins—and a mystery.
Eleven-year-old Stella Montgomery has always wondered about her family. What happened to her mother? And could she have a long-lost sister somewhere? Stella’s awful Aunts refuse to tell her anything, and now they have sent her Stella away to the old family home at Wormwood Mire, where she must live with two strange cousins and their governess.
But dark secrets slither and skulk within overgrown grounds of the moldering house, and Stella must be brave if she’s to find out who—or what—she really is…
