Yesterday Crumb and the Storm in a Teacup by Andy Sagar - Teaching resources and competition!

Adventure and magic await in every teacup!

Welcome to the enchanting world of Yesterday Crumb, a young girl with fox ears who has never fitted in. Taken in by flamboyant tea witch Miss Dumpling, Yesterday is introduced to a magical, walking teashop filled with fantastic customers, a flying teapot turtle called Pascal and powerful spells in every teacup!

Yesterday starts to rediscover her magic and finally feels a sense of belonging. But a mysterious figure of darkness is working hard to ensure her new life comes crashing down – and it all starts with a deadly shard of ice in Yesterday’s heart…

A whimsical tale of hope, found family and most importantly, tea, Yesterday Crumb and the Storm in a Teacup is perfect for fans of The Strangeworlds Travel Agency and Starfell. And remember – there’s nothing that can’t be solved with a pot of tea, a slice of cake and a BIG dash of magic!
