"Inventive escapist adventure with characters young readers have come to love"
The series that began with The Polar Bear Explorers’ Club continues to enthral young readers.
There’s a rescue mission at the centre of this episode as villainous collector Scarlett Sauvage has taken ice princess Stella captive. Stella’s friends, led by half-mermaid Ursula, must rescue her and stop the Collector before her wicked plans change their world forever.
The story features swamp monsters, space moles and sea goblins, but the glue that holds it all together is the friendship between our band of explorers. Full of magic, but with an environmental message too, this is thrilling and hugely enjoyable reading, expect to see young readers swept up into the story and completely engrossed in the magic!

It had the look of a really, really deep well.Ursula and her friends are in a race against time. The Collector has taken Stella captive, and is hungrily snatching up all the beautiful places of the world in her snow globe prisons.
