So, here's the buzz . . .
Escaped prisoner Rufus Crookshank is on the loose again. Wil Wychwood and his ancient medallion are not safe as long as the secret society of the Serpent’s Chain is determined to control the medallion and its magyk. But a new symbol – a tiny golden bee - appears on the small black pendant. What does it mean? At the same time, rumours are flying that something is killing MiddleGate’s honeybees. Is it mites? Mould? Magyk? Sophie and Wil volunteer as summer bee-keepers at Gruffud’s Academy to learn more. But when they vanish during a picnic with their new friends Phinneas and Beatriz, Aunt Violet and Aunt Rue fear the pair may never return to celebrate their shared birthday. The second of The MiddleGate Books. |
