It's been six months since Kate, Michael and Emma confronted the Dire Magnus, but the trail to their long-lost family remains cold. Then Michael and Emma find the man who was the last person to see them. He knows about a secret map of a distant, mysterious land - maybe this is the clue that will lead them to their parents...

Meanwhile, Kate's connection to the Book of Time grows ever stronger, and when a dangerous trick traps her in the past, she must find new friends to help her return home.

Once more the children must embark on a daring and perilous quest to find the second Book of Beginning and harness its power. But will it be enough to save them all?

Nine out of ten . . . Put down whatever you're reading at the moment, and pick this up
Irreverent humor and swashbuckling adventure collide in a fetching fantasy
Fans of The Emerald Atlas will find much to love: the adventure-driven plot, a scattering of deliciously scary moments, and Stephens’s offbeat take on Tolkienesque dragons, dwarves, and elves are sure to delight

If you enjoyed the first then the second is straight on and much of the same sort of easy action that a nice listen for all ages

Really good

Jim Dale brings tens of characters to life throughout the trilogy. This is a brilliant mix of Narnia /potter/ lord of the rings
. I am an adult fan.

Fast paced story, that follows on from the first book of the series and keeps you listening. Entertaining narrator who reads the story really well. Can't wait to listen to the third installment.

Good fantasy story and well read
