It's a very fishy tale . . .
Wil Wychwood’s magical medallion weighs heavily on him. For once, he would like to live a normal life. Tired of bearing the burden of the Serpent’s Chain secret society, he plans to toss the medallion into the rising river waters. But when mists reveal a new mystery, cousins Wil and Sophie tumble into the secret realm of Catfysh, the Spirit of the River, and a plot to destroy the most magical building in Canada. In this adventure, the world of magical MiddleGate intersects with the Manitoba Legislature - the Palace of the Blazing Star - where stone sphinxes, bison, lions, snakes and goddesses protect an ancient mystery. Cousins Wil and Sophie follow secret signs, decode cryptic messages, and work to solve a riddle to unleash powerful allies locked in stone. But even if they succeed – will they ever escape from the trials of the ancient medallion? And what will be the cost of their secrets and lies? |
