Ulysses Moore – The Worlds at the End of the World

Adventure
Mystery

Exactly 20 years after the first edition, Ulysses Moore returns with the twentieth volume of the series. The one where it all begins.

THE WORLDS AT THE END OF THE WORLD

Ulysses Moore is eleven years old and has no desire to go to Eton, the most prestigious boarding school in England. He wants to stay with his friends on the streets of London, explore abandoned buildings, race wooden carts all the way into the Thames, and find the courage to tell his cousin Daffodille how he really feels.
Instead, he’s sent by his grandparents to study with a mysterious professor who will be tutoring him in the coming months. But there’s an unexpected twist: not only did this professor once teach Ulysses’s mother when she was alive, but he also knows some of the Moore family’s secrets — stories about Ulysses’s ancestors and a lost house called Villa Argo, from which tales emerge that seem tied to the invisible side of the world.

  • A series packed with action, full of mysteries, puzzles, and secrets, where each chapter brings new twists that will keep young readers on the edge of their seats!
  • An irresistible adventure, a journey of discovery that will take you to places you never dreamed possible: “this world and all the possible worlds.”
  • Celebrating the 20th anniversary of The Door to Time, the first book in a saga that has sold millions of copies, with 19 volumes published to date.
