'Ladslow looked down at the wax models in the glass-topped box: one male, one female, one red-haired, the other blonde. "Poppets" was the old-fashioned name for these dolls and they had nothing to do with childhood playthings. They were the stuff of witchcraft.'
Lewis James is unhappy. Overweight and unpopular, his dad despises him and the girl he likes won't look at him. He has no friends, no life.
But meeting Viktor Ladslow, the genius puppet-maker who runs the town toy store, seems like the answer to all his problems. Ladslow is a clairvoyant, but he's no ordinary fortune-teller. If Lewis really wants to change his future, he'll have to give Ladslow something in return. After all, a deal's a deal - a favour for a favour. A soul for a soul . . .
