The second book in the new adventure trilogy from the beloved author
of The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom.
It's 1883--only a few months after Molly Pepper; her mother, Cassandra;
and her friend, Emmett, saved New York from an attack by the
megalomaniacal Ambrose Rector while managing to preserve the reputations
of Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison, whose technology was
manipulated in Rector's scheme. Their selfless heroism will finally earn
them a place in the Inventors' Guild, alongside the greatest minds of
their generation.
Unless, of course, no one knows that they did any of that.
Left with nothing but empty promises and a struggling pickle shop after
the government chooses to cover up the crisis, Molly, Cassandra, and
Emmett have no idea where to turn--until they learn of a daring
expedition to the South Pole, where an meteorite of mysterious power is
embedded, and where Emmett's father, explorer and ship captain Wendell
Lee, disappeared years ago.
With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, our heroes commandeer
an experimental seacraft to make their play on the pole. But the trip is
more treacherous than they realize, and there's no guarantee that they
will return successful--if they even return at all.
