** BOOKS ARE MY BAG READERS' AWARD WINNER **
The unmissable new story in the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling Impossible Creatures series, for fans of Philip Pullman, Percy Jackson and Skandar.
'There was Tolkien, there is Pullman and now there is Katherine Rundell' - Michael Morpurgo
When Christopher Forrester is unexpectedly woken by a miniature dragon chewing on his face, his heart leaps for joy. For months he's dreamed of returning to the Archipelago - the secret islands where all the creatures of myth still live. But he did not know it would involve a rescue mission on the back of a sphinx, or a plan to enter a dragon's lair. Nor did he imagine it would involve a girl with a flock of birds at her side, a new-hatched chick in her pocket and a ravenous hunger for justice...

Recenzii
Katherine Rundell returns with a perfect fantasy
Rundell is back with a sequel to her runaway middle-grade fantasy hit "Impossible Creatures," which offers magical thrills for young readers and adults alike.
I love Katherine Rundell and everything she writes. Her books are treasure troves of glittering wisdom and breath-taking plots; her characters leap off the page, singular, passionate, and satisfyingly complex. I defy anyone to not lose their heart to her stories.
An exquisitely written, expertly plotted, emotionally affecting and totally immersive triumph!
A mythical and magical world, the Archipelago is full of colour and opportunity for children to lose themselves in their imaginations. Katherine Rundell delights with this sequel: Exceptional
Few writers today channel the wild heart of children's literature quite like Katherine Rundell. The award-winning author of Rooftoppers, The Explorer and Impossible Creatures, Rundell has a rare gift: she writes with both intellectual muscle and reckless wonder.
The fantasy world is richly imagined, the dialogue sharp and witty and short chapters drive the pace. This series is pure class.
Dazzling ... the imaginative scope of this series remains colossal
Katherine Rundell's books are an automatic purchase in my house. She is a magician, one of the great storytellers of our time.
A treasure chest of myths
One of our finest authors
Enthralling adventures - a sphinx-back rescue, a harpy-guarded library, a glimpse of a terrifying future - ensue, while characteristically humorous, elegant prose exhorts the reader to defend the frail and precious, remembering that "love is the greatest weapon against the world's cruelties".
The second book in the Impossible Creatures series is spectacular. These stories are about so much more than dragons, unicorns and gaganas. They're about how to live within the chaos and beauty of our miraculous world, and Katherine Rundell is a writer at the top of her game.
