À propos de la quatrième de couverture

They were snatched from their beds in the dead of night, when the world was covered in snow.

Ten years on, Kate, Michael and Emma have grown up in a string of miserable orphanages, and all memories of their parents have faded. Arriving in the eerily silent Cambridge Falls, the children quickly realise there is something strange going on...

With the discovery of an old leather book, an ancient magical prophecy is set in motion which will take them on the the adventure of several lifetimes, to worlds outside their own. Only they have the power to save the town - and their own future.

À propos de la deuxième de couverture

Kate is in charge. The oldest. The only one who remembers their parents. Promised to protect her brother and sister until they return.

Michael is the bookish brother. Scrawny, bullied at every orphanage (his glasses somehow always end up in the toilet). Loves stories about magic, especially involving dwarves.

Emma is a pint-sized brawler. Devoted to her brother and sister. Thinks Michael is deeply weird. Will fight anyone who says so. Secretly threw Michael's glasses in the toilet - twice.

Together, they will learn:

1. Magic is real

2. Old books cause trouble

3. Only they can save the world
