Synopsis

The Newbery Honor author of Ella Enchanted, Gail Carson Levine, weaves a thrilling fantasy mystery in this companion to A Tale of Two Castles.

Elodie, the dragon detective Meenore, and the kindly ogre Count Jonty Um are all on their way to Elodie’s home island of Lahnt.

Elodie has barely set foot on land before she learns that the Replica, a statue that keeps her island’s deadly volcano from erupting, has been stolen! If the Replica isn’t found in three days, a mountain will be destroyed. And when Elodie ends up alone with a cast of characters that may all be guilty, she has to use her wits to try to unravel a tangled web of lies in this exciting adventure for kids.

New York Times bestselling author Gail Carson Levine has written an imaginative, fast-paced mystery that will be enjoyed by fans of A Tale of Two Castles, as well as those meeting Elodie, Meenore, and Count Jonty Um for the first time.

Can a clever girl, a grumpy dragon, and a gentle ogre find the statue before the mountain blows its top?

• Magical Creatures: Join Elodie and her companions, including the kindhearted, shape-shifting ogre Count Jonty Um, on an island filled with enchanted brunkas and their secrets.
• An Unlikely Team of Friends: To find the culprit among a cast of quirky suspects, a clever girl, a grumpy dragon, and a gentle ogre must learn to trust each other before it’s too late.
