The Island of Mist is in danger. Odge Gribble is tasked with collecting the Mistmaker Master from Vienna, but again (due to a case of mistaken identity) Odge collects the wrong person. Lina, an adventurous but ordinary young girl, has always believed in magic, so despite not being the Mistmaker Master is happy to help. Will she be able to help save Mist from the harpies before the Gump closes?

This fabulous sequel to The Secret of Platform 13, is full of magical creatures, adventure and humour. Whether you’re a fan of the Ibbotson original, or just delving into Pounder’s version of this magical realm you will not be disappointed. I think this will become a modern classic. I’m really looking forward to sharing this book in school.
