Lila doesn't just want to be a Firework-Maker's daughter, she wants to be a Firework Maker herself. But although she's learned a lot she still must get through the most difficult and dangerous part of her apprenticeship - and her father won't tell her what it is.

In search of this final Firework-Making secret, Lila heads off alone on a journey. It is a journey filled with dangers beyond anything she could have imagined, a journey on which she will learn so much more than the one secret she set out to find . . .

Praise for The Firework-Maker's Daughter

One of those rare books with a confident magic all their own - sheer genius

Independent

Full of hilarious, lovable characters this is a book you will want to read over and over again

The Sunday Times

Pullman knows it is not enough to bargain on the richness of children's minds: successful writing of this kind depends on the creation of imaginative worlds that have enough internal coherence to be not only comprehensible but inhabitable

Independent on Sunday

A wonderfully written adventure story
