The Neverfear

'A world of richly-imagined wonder' Cressida Cowell

It's the Midsummer Feast on the Islet of Glimt and on this magical moonlit evening, the word on everyone's lips is bandits. Reports of masked men burning villages are spreading throughout the Archipelago, but worse is still to come: Christopher and Anya are ambushed and one of the people they love most is kidnapped.

The two children - alongside Ratwin the ratatoska and Jacques the Jaculus dragon - set sail on the Neverfear to recover three precious treasures. Together they must face fearsome giants, win a daring race, and outwit deadly enemies to save those they love most.

Discover the magic of Katherine Rundell in the most hotly-anticipated book of the year - the third adventure in the internationally bestselling Impossible Creatures series. Adorned with beautiful blue foil, this hardcover edition makes for a perfect gift.
