Award-winning fiction from #1 bestselling children's author, Emma Warner-Reed.
Following the death of her parents in a tragic firework accident, nine and a half year old Welsh girl, Dotty Parsons, is sent to live with her Great Uncle Winchester at The Calendar House - a vast old country house in deepest, darkest Yorkshire.
Once there, Dotty is disturbed by noises coming from the chimneys and soon suspects everything is not as it seems. The cook tells her the noises are just jackdaws nesting. But in December - surely that can’t be right, can it?
Since its initial publication in 2015, DOTTY and the Calendar House Key has received significant acclaim, including the Literary Classics Silver Award for children's fantasy fiction, an exclusively five star rating on Amazon, the official Seal of Approval from Literary Classics and Honourable Mentions at the Los Angeles, New York, Amsterdam and Paris Book Festival Awards.
DOTTY and the Chimney Thief is the second novel in The DOTTY Series. Look out for Dotty’s third adventure, DOTTY and the Dream Catchers, coming soon!

"Dotty and the Calendar House Key has truly fired my daughter's imagination for the first time since Harry Potter. Beautifully written and exciting. The Secret Garden meets Diagon Alley. Fabulous!"
Alexandra Vere, Harrogate
"My son has just read the first [book] and thinks it's brilliant - high praise since he has very decided opinions about what he reads."
P. Uglow, Harrogate
"I really liked the [first] book. It was a bit scary when Dotty found herself in Uncle Winchester's private study. But most of the books I read are a bit scary so that was okay. I would read the other books in the series. Go Team Dotty!"
Betty, age 7, Amazon
"Enchanting, innocent and lovely with just the right amount of modern technology...a great read for a grown up 7 year old! She loved it... When is the next one coming out?"
A. Little, Amazon
"I read [DOTTY and the Chimney Thief] to the children tonight and they were instantly back to being as gripped as they were by the first book. They both laughed out loud at the wonderful descriptions of Gobby in the kitchen covered in flour (again) and the way she asked Kenny to remove Geoff! They cannot wait to find out what happens next."
S. Johnson, Stallingborough
