"A sparkling fantasy adventures from a favourite author."
In their second outing, young Ember Spark and her best friend Arno have more magical creatures to help. Their first thrilling adventure established that there’s a nearby ‘hospital’ for injured mythical beasts, from unicorns to dragons, with the pair recruited as young assistants.
Ember has special gifts and is always trusted by the creatures, which is very helpful when one of the rarest and most powerful of them all, a frost phoenix, crashes in through her window. The action is typically fast-paced with Ember, Arno and their friend Rusty travelling to the Arctic to save a baby neverwhale from the band of wicked poachers who are out to capture not just the creatures but Ember herself. Fortunately, having a frost phoenix on your side is a huge help!
There are emotional trials for Ember too, who’s worried that her mum’s new relationship will bring changes, but her experience shows that even when things are falling apart, you can find rubies in the rubble, as her mum says. Abi Elphinstone’s books are full of rubies for young fantasy adventure fans, and this new series positively sparkles with them.
