What you need to know before your trail
Phoebe’s new role at work is keeping her busier than ever. Just as she’s finding her feet, however, new boss, Dixon, lands a bombshell: Hendry’s toy store is in dire financial straits and it’s up to him and Phoebe to save it. This isn’t exactly what she signed up for and she’s going to need all the help she can get. So it’s a pity that the only help she has comes in the form of Midnight, her purple-haired colleague who wouldn’t know an employee rule-book if it slapped her in the face…
At home, Jack’s brother, Archie, and their mum, Carol, seem determined to make Phoebe’s life hell, however hard she tries. And now Jack seems to have a new rival too: Adam Hendry, slick heir to the Hendry’s empire, who is making it very clear he’d like to involve Phoebe in a hostile takeover. Just how far will he go to get what he wants?

Millrise, England
Fictional but doesn’t it sound lovely?
She couldn’t imagine working anywhere else. Along with Jack and Maria, the strange archaic toy store that had stood on the High Street of Millrise for almost a hundred yeas had dragged her back from a void that had opened up with Vik’s death and had nearly swallowed her whole
“Hendry’s have been selling today and game fro the children of Millrose for almost a hundred years but they’ve never really moved with the times and are being threatened by multinational toy companies and the internet They need someone to look after their PR and to work in bringing them into the 21st century.”
That toy store at the heart of Millrise village is where the story starts, wraps around everything within the four MillRise novels and….well, where does it end?
Tilly Tennant was born in Dorset, the oldest of four children, but now lives in Staffordshire with a family of her own. She’s had years of dismal and disastrous jobs, all of which probably led to the creation of Millrise and the characters in it.
