Stolen Magic
Perihal e-buku ini
Elodie, the dragon detective Meenore, and the kindly shape-shifting 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 middle grade fantasy adventure that will be enjoyed by fans of A Tale of Two Castles, as well as those meeting Elodie, Meenore, and Count Jonty Um for the first time.

- A Race Against Time: The magical Replica has been stolen, and if it isn’t found in three days, the island's volcano will destroy everything.
