The Newbery Honor author of Ella Enchanted, Gail Carson Levine, weaves
a thrilling tale of mystery in this companion to A Tale of Two
Castles.
Elodie, the dragon detective Meenore, and the kindly ogre Count Jonty Um
are all on their way to Elodie's home island of Lahnt.
Elodie has barely set foot on land before she learns that the Replica, a
statue that keeps her island's deadly volcano from erupting, has been
stolen! If the Replica isn't found in three days, a mountain will be
destroyed. And when Elodie ends up alone with a cast of characters that
may all be guilty, she has to use her wits to try to unravel a tangled
web of lies.
New York Times bestselling author Gail Carson Levine has written an
imaginative, fast-paced mystery that will be enjoyed by fans of A Tale
