About this listen

There is magic beyond the real world....

Effie Truelove has learned to travel through magical books to the Otherworld. Maximillian Underwood, Effie's classmate, is more interested in the dark and forbidden Underworld. When Effie and Maximilian both mysteriously vanish, their friends Raven, Lexy and Wolf don't know where to turn for help. Raven is a witch, and her horse, Echo, has revealed that Effie is in deep danger and time is running out.

To make things worse, Raven's mother, the author Laurel Wilde, is caught up in a plot with the ruthless billionaire Albion Freake, who will stop at nothing to become invincible. Where are Effie and Maximilian? Are their disappearances connected? And can Albion Freake's deadly plan be stopped?

I’m a big fan of Scarlet Thomas’ work and saw these children ‘s books as an opportunity to get some more. The second book in the series is not quite up to the first. I found this a bit muddled in parts and quite a confusing list of characters. But still very enjoyable- and picking up on her usual themes of time, reality and magic in the everyday. Competently read but I was sure about the voice representation given the age and gender of the main character. But still I give it four out if five because it’s Scarlet!

The whole family has enjoyed listening to this more than once. It is the sequel to Dragon 's Green, which tells the story of Effie Truelove who discovers her magical powers and a way into another world through her grandfather 's library. its a shame part 3 is not available on Audible, but we have the book.

brilliant magical tale

I wonderful story beautifully read. Suitable for age 7+ I'd say. It's the second book in the Worldquake trilogy. The audiobook of Dragon's Green (the first in the series) is excellent too. We enjoyed listening to both audiobooks with our 8 year old twins in the car.

Wonderful!
