Chimera Series by Phil Gomm

Kyp Finnegan is lost in Chimera after running away from the imposters pretending to be his parents. Chimera is as remarkable as it is dangerous - a fantastical world of lost properties in which bowties evolve into butterflies and abandoned sofas transform into snorting herds of soffalos! With the help of Atticus Weft, a sock-snake with a secret, Kyp must evade the clutches of Madame Chartreuse, who is determined to add him to her collection of lost children and imprison him in Chimera forever...

Kyp Finnegan’s adventures in Chimera continue, as an unexpected turn of events forces him to make a dangerous alliance with an old foe. New enemies abound, as Kyp confronts a vengeful ventriloquist dummy and does battle with hordes of human-hating mannequins. As loyalties change and secrets are revealed, Kyp will find something precious in Chimera, but he will lose everything too…

Things are looking desperate for Kyp Finnegan, as his adventure in Chimera reaches its thrilling conclusion; Madame Chartreuse’s collection of lost children is in the hands of a murderous mannequin and a cult of human-hating metamorphs want to recruit Kyp to their cause! Even his friends aren’t certain Kyp can be trusted to get them home. As ominous prophecies foretell disaster and old enemies converge, a last fateful confrontation awaits Kyp at the Sanctuary of Saint Anthony…
