And they're sizing her up to be something - not someone, someTHING - that Tilly can't quite get her head around. Because Tilly is the girl who will be guardian of them all. The whole weird kit-and-caboodle. She's been chosen to save the lot of them. But can she? And does she even want to? Join Tilly and Mattan for magical mayhem and mad mysteries as they make new friends and even more enemies, in the search for lessons on just how one not-so-ordinary girl can become a living legend. From Jill Marshall, author of the best-selling series about girl spy Jane Blonde, comes a new heroine. She's funny, she's feisty, she's a Flying Matilda. And Matilda Peppercorn is ready to take on the world. TLOMP is also a SWAGG Origin Story. Meet Tilly again in SWAGG 1, 2 and especially 3, Sorcery...
