The Moonlighters
From Lee Newbery, acclaimed author of The Last Firefox, The Moonlighters invites you to a London where city streets shimmer with secret possibilities. Ten-year-old Theo sneaks away from a school trip and finds himself welcomed into the Casablanca Lily, a hotel that by day is scrappy and by night becomes a doorway to magic. The Moonlighters blends the whimsy of Peter Pan with the grit of Oliver Twist, delivering a fast-paced, heartwarming adventure for readers aged 9–12 who crave friendship, danger, and wonder.
Written in a warm, reader-friendly voice, The Moonlighters unfolds across a moonlit London where the Casablanca Lily hosts a troupe of vibrant characters—the Moonlighters—who rove the nights in search of lost magical artefacts. Each midnight quest promises a new puzzle and a chance at power, but Theo learns that power can carry steep costs. The story balances playful humor with real stakes, delivering memorable scenes, clever dialogue, and a pace that keeps you turning pages.
Throughout the journey, Theo makes unlikely friends, discovers bravery he didn’t know he had, and learns that loyalty can light the darkest corners of the city. Though this is a fantasy, its heart is plainly human: trust, choices, and the pull of adventure are explored through lively characters, vivid settings, and a sense of wonder that never fades.
- London-set adventure following Theo and the Moonlighters on nightly quests for lost magical artefacts
- The Casablanca Lily, a hotel that transforms from daytime drab to nighttime wonder
- Warm themes of friendship, courage, and the responsibilities that come with power
- Bright, witty storytelling with a memorable cast and lively city scenes
- A fast, page-turning pace that invites imagination and spirited, hopeful escapades
After finishing The Moonlighters, readers carry a glow of courage and imagination, ready to seek their own adventures and to notice the magic hidden in everyday days.
