A miniature dragon chewing on his face is a strange way to wake up – but for Christopher Forrester, it means only one thing: he’s finally going back to the Archipelago, the secret islands where every creature of myth still roams, and he’s been dreaming of the return for months. What he hasn’t bargained for is a rescue mission on sphinx-back, a plan to break into a dragon’s lair, or an alliance with a fierce girl who travels everywhere with a flock of birds, a newly-hatched chick tucked in her pocket, and a hunger for justice that won’t quit. This is the unmissable new instalment in the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling Impossible Creatures series – essential reading for fans of Philip Pullman, Percy Jackson and Skandar. ‘Katherine Rundell returns with a perfect fantasy’ Telegraph ** BOOKS ARE MY BAG READERS’ AWARD WINNER ** ‘There was Tolkien, there is Pullman and now there is Katherine Rundell’ – Michael Morpurgo Impossible Creatures has already collected an extraordinary run of honours: WINNER Waterstones Book of the Year, WINNER British Book Awards Children’s Book of the Year, WINNER Foyles Children’s Book of the Year, and WINNER Books Are My Bag Readers Award. ‘A book stuffed full of fantastical, magical delight’ – Cressida Cowell ‘Readers will seize this with delight’ – Philip Pullman ‘A masterpiece to rival Tolkien’ – Daily Telegraph ‘Every sentence sparkles … Magnificent’ – The Times Impossible Creatures Sunday Times bestseller, December 2023
