Series: The Stolen Dreams Adventures

The dazzling follow-up to the phenomenal The Book of Stolen Dreams from master storyteller David Farr, perfect for fans of Katherine Rundell and Philip Pullman. When Rachel and her brother Robert defeated the tyrannical President Malstain and saved all of Krasnia, they became heroes. But the battle between good and evil has only just begun. Rachel has a blood-red key and, as a Keeper of the Key, she cannot refuse its demands. So, when a young girl, Elsa Spiegel, is kidnapped and taken to the Hinterland, Rachel must answer the key's call. With time running out, Rachel realises that it's not just Elsa she must save, but the world as she knows it...

Praise for The Book of Stolen Dreams: ""A new and important voice for young people."" Michael Morpurgo ""Dazzling! An instant classic. An eye-wateringly funny and jaw-droppingly fantastical adventure, chock-a-block with rare books, airships, and penguin-shaped hats."" Ben Miller ""A wonderful story. Gripping and magical."" Anthony Horowitz
