A traditional story involving a magic carpet is given a new twist. Ezra, aged eleven, and Violet, aged six, arrive at their grandmother's house for half-term. It isn't long before they leave it again - this time on a magic carpet. They soon discover the carpet has a mind of its own. It's in charge. What does it want and why has it fetched a seemingly conventional old lady and her grandchildren? Where has it taken them? Will they get home safely? And which of the characters, both human and animal, mean well and which don't? This story will appeal to children. There is a longer version, The Lost Palace, for grown-ups, which follows the fortunes of the grandmother as well as the children.
