The tyrannical goblin king is back, and he's hot on the trail of the long-lost Stone of Power. If he finds it, it'll be goodbye school holidays and hello Third Age of Never-Ending Darkness. To beat Gorgomoth to the stone, Wednesday and her friends must prove themselves worthy by passing three deadly trials. And so the race is on.

Will their magic and science be enough to stop Gorgomoth from taking over the universe?'Clever, energetic, sassy and very well written . . . Wednesday Weeks and the Dungeon of Fire is a funny, beautiful book, part of a funny, clever series' READPLUS

Wednesday Weeks is just starting to get the hang of this whole magic thing. But Gorgomoth the Unclean is on the loose again and he's out to ruin everything, for keeps. When Gorgomoth steals the Crown of Destiny and turns Grandpa into a frog, it's up to Wednesday and Alfie - with help from Bruce and their new friend Adaline - to track him down. But wormholes, giant pinball machines and a stolen crown are only the beginning. Throw in a floating fortress full of goblins, some misbehaving magic and a missing pair of eyebrows, and Wednesday and Alfie are going to have to take their magic - and their science - to the next level. Book 2 in the brilliant Wednesday Weeks series, which asks the question: In a world of magic, can science save the day?

In a world of magic, can science save the day? Wednesday Weeks never wanted to be a sorcerer's apprentice. She'd rather study science than magic. But when her cloak-wearing, staff-wielding grandpa is captured by a power-hungry goblin king, Wednesday must find a way to embrace her magical heritage and rescue him from the dreaded Tower of Shadows. Luckily, she's not alone. Her best friend Alfie is a prime-number fan and robotics expert who's all-in on Wednesday's epic plan involving parallel universes, swords of power, and a wise-cracking talking skull. But it's going to take more than science, magic, and the world's cutest robot to take down this bad guy. Because the goblin king is playing for the ultimate prize - and Wednesday and Alfie just walked into his trap...

Erottamaton kaksikko, Miku ja Cait, on jälleen vauhdikkaan seikkailun pyörteissä. Mutta, ovatko he tosiaan niin erottamattomat? Cait ei vaikuta omalta itseltään, ja Mikua huolestuttaa. Sen lisäksi, että hän joutuu pohtimaan ystävänsä kummallista käytöstä, on hänellä muitakin huolia. Esimerkiksi omituinen haju, joka tuntuu seuraavan heitä. Ja leirikoulu keskellä korpea. Ja ympärillä hiiviskelevät kummalliset otukset, muun muassa törkymöykky ja tofumunkki. Ja muodonmuuttajat. Ja sirkkelijalkaiset henkiolennot. Ja... no, kuten sarjan ensimmäisessäkin osassa, japanilaisia henkiä ja taruolentoja riittää riesaksi asti. Mistä Miku voisi tietää, kuka on ystävä ja kuka vihollinen? Kirjan kuvituksena on 10 manga-tyylistä mustavalkokuvaa, jotka on piirtänyt Siku, kuuluisa manga-kuvittaja. Takeshitan kintereillä on trilogian toinen, itsenäinen osa.
