Synopsis

From master storyteller Garth Nix comes the thrilling tale of a strange object with the potential to destroy the world, and what happens when it falls into the wrong hands. Perfect for fans of Stranger Things.

All Kim wants to do is play Dungeons & Dragons with his friends and ride his bike around the local lake. But he has always lived in the shadow of his younger sister. Eila is a prodigy, and everyone talks about how smart she is, though in Kim’s eyes, she has no common sense. So when Eila finds an enigmatic, otherworldly globe which gives her astonishing powers, Kim not only has to save his sister from herself, he might also have to save the world from his sister!

With his trademark creeping menace and a strong sense of 1970s nostalgia, bestselling fantasy author Garth Nix (Sabriel, Mister Monday, The Left-Handed Booksellers of London) has expertly crafted this pacy and exciting standalone middle grade novel.
