Embark on another swashbuckling SKY PIRATES adventure in The
Dragon's Gold, perfect for 8+ explorers and fans of Abi
Elphinstone, Peter Bunzl and Vashti Hardy. Echo Quickthorn has been
reunited with her sky-pirate mother, Indigo Lil, and is now a
fully-fledged member of the Black Sky Wolves. So when Lil is
summoned to the Alliance of the Seven Skies, Echo decides to sneak
along with her friend Horace. There, Horace is captured by the
dastardly Thunder Sharks, a rival pirate clan, who present Echo
with an ultimatum: they'll release her friend in exchange for the
legendary dragon's gold ... Echo must journey - through underwater
libraries and active volcanoes - to the inhospitable Dragonlands,
in order to find the dragon's lair. But can she find the treasure
and prove herself to be a true-sky pirate? Praise for SKY PIRATES:
Echo Quickthorn and the Great Beyond: "Strap yourselves in for an
exhilarating ride!" - Daily Mail "Fizzes with magic and wonder" -
Abi Elphinstone, author of SKY SONG "A charmingly madcap adventure,
with endearing friendships, sparkling wit, and a swashbuckling
journey across pirate-infested skies. I loved it. Perfect for fans
of Nevermoor and Cogheart." - Hana Tooke, author of THE
UNADOPTABLES "A spirited protagonist, a charming side-kick and a
believable villain come together in this tightly plotted, visual,
treat for the senses. I want to soar over the rainbow rooftops of
Port Tourbillon and the toadstooled forests of Tyrian in my very
own airship." - Nizrana Farook, author of THE GIRL WHO STOLE AN
ELEPHANT "Sky Pirates is a fast-moving adventure story full of
intrepid explorers, ingenious inventors, stolen treasure and
mysterious undiscovered lands. If you like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
(and who doesn't?) you'll love Sky Pirates too!" - Kirsty
Applebaum, author of THE MIDDLER "From the very first page, I felt
as if I'd been grabbed by the hand by a best friend and taken on
the journey of a lifetime. Pacey, thrilling and endearing too. If I
was ever to encounter sky pirates, I can think of no one I'd want
by my side more than clever, brave Echo." - Joanna Nadin, author of
the RACHEL RILEY series "A breath-taking adventure and a
wonderfully imagined story of friendship and danger in strange
places." - Claire Fayers, author of THE VOYAGE TO MAGICAL NORTH "An
incredible adventure, brimming with friendship and danger" - The
Bookseller
