Synopsis

Tod's story races on in this second book in the TodHunter Moon trilogy, a spinoff of the popular Septimus Heap series. Fans of Septimus as well as fantasy readers new to the world of Magyk will enjoy this next installment in the series ALA Booklist calls "warm and inventive." Full-page illustrations by renowned fantasy artist Mark Zug begin each section and add to the magic!

Great for readers of Harry Potter or Brandon Mull's Fablehaven series, TodHunter Moon offers something for every reader, regardless of gender or age. SandRider is also a dynamic pick for parents reading aloud to younger children before bedtime.

Taking place seven years after the events of the original Septimus Heap series, TodHunter Moon tells the story of Alice TodHunter Moon, a young PathFinder who comes to the Castle with a Magyk all her own. In this second book, Tod sets out for the Desert of the Singing Sands to retrieve the Egg of the Orm—a journey that will test not only her Magykal and PathFinding skills but her friendships, too.

The fate of the last Orm rests in her hands—and an evil sorcerer will stop at nothing to claim it for his own.

• Septimus Heap Series Spinoff: Return to the world of Magyk seven years after the original series, with familiar faces and a new hero to cheer for.
• Epic Desert Adventure: Journey with Tod across the dangerous Desert of the Singing Sands on a perilous mission to retrieve the legendary Egg of the Orm.
• Witches and Sorcerers: An evil sorcerer, a scheming witch, and a coven with their own dark plans stand in Tod's way.
• Friendship and Loyalty: Tod’s quest will push her friendships to the limit, proving that the strongest Magyk of all is loyalty.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

It's been two months since Alice TodHunter Moon—who insists on being called Tod—left her home in the seaside PathFinder village to pursue a life of Magyk in the Castle. Being Apprentice to ExtraOrdinary Wizard Septimus Heap is tricky, though—there's loads of new Magyk to learn, and she dearly misses her friends Oskar and Ferdie. But at least she's mastered the UnSeen Charm.

She's lucky she has, too—that UnSeen will come in handy when she sets out with Oskar and Ferdie on a perilous journey to retrieve the Egg of the Orm from the Desert of the Singing Sands. If they don't reach the Egg before it hatches, the new baby Orm could imprint on the evil sorcerer Oraton-Marr, giving him unlimited Magyk to do with what he wishes. . . .

Bursting with humorous and poignant moments, SandRider celebrates the satisfaction of taking charge of one's path in life—unexpected adventures and all.
