Description
Stranger Things meets Indiana Jones in this dark and magical sequel to the fantasy adventure Cradle of All Worlds.
In her quest for the Cradle Sea Jane has been thrown by a life-shattering revelation - she is the third Cradle key - a child created by the Gods to safeguard the Manor. She must reunite the keys to save her world. This quest may cost her life.
Fans of Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials, Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson adventures, Frances Hardinge and the Netflix blockbuster Stranger Things will love this heart-pounding and spell-binding middle grade adventure with its nod to the classic 80s movies The Goonies and Indiana Jones.
