This stand-alone pre-teen adventure/fantasy novel is third book in the ‘Tale of Fontania’ series of novels. Filled with humour, action, adventure, and magic, this is a truly gripping read featuring a large and memorable cast of characters.
by Barbara Else
“This enthralling tale can be read as a stand-alone novel or as part of the award-winning Fontania series. All three books in the series will appeal to pre-teens who enjoy well-written stories with a touch of magic, humour, and plenty of action.” – Bookrapt (NZ)
“Else contrives a plot that leaves neither characters nor readers much chance to catch their breaths . An entertaining romp, more comical than scary and with a poignant but hopeful close.” – Kirkus Reviews
“An excellent tale of magic, adventure, invention, humour and silliness [and] snappy, witty dialogue between the characters.” – Your Weekend (NZ)
