"* 'Jenny Nimmo writes with incredible vigour and passion' Guardian"
Product Description
This is a spell-binding new tale spun by a prizewinning storyteller. Gabar wheeled around to see a crowd of thin green creatures creeping towards him. Their wet hair dangled, their red eyes flashed and their long arms swung like slimy vines. 'Camel,' said one. 'Let us take your heavy burdens.' Gabar raised his head and bellowed. But root-like fingers were now reaching for the bag that contained the moon cloak. Timoken has to flee his secret forest kingdom after it is attacked by sneaky, shape-shifting viridees. Protected from birth by a magical moon spider web, he travels with his camel, Gabar, seeking a new kingdom - a new home. Timoken also has magic himself. He can conjure rain from the air, talk to animals and fly high in the air. And when he saves three leopard cubs from a hunter, they become enchanted too, and sworn to protect him. But the powerful, slimy green viridees are always just a breath behind him. They want the moon spider's web. And they will do anything to get it...A stunning adventure that will enthrall any fan of magical fantasy.

This book is one of the best books I have ever read. It was gripping and interesting. No parts of it were better than other parts, it was all brilliant. The story is about a prince and his sister who run away from their kingdom when it is attacked, taking with them a magic ring and a magic web to protect them. They also take some elixir which keeps them young for ever. On their travels, they meet a camel and some other children who help them on their journey. A very good page turner. I loved it!

I bought this for the kids but decided to read it myself, and was pleased I did. A fantastical journey through time and across continents with a faerie like, m'thical quality but not fey. Exciting villains, humorous and touching adventures with the flying camel, and themes of family, loss and redemption that stops it being too simplistic. At the same time, I think my primary school children would enjoy the story on a different level and I would not hesitate in reading it to them. There's nothing to offend them, but enough to keep me interested, and it's a very visual book I can imagine being a good film.
Format:Paperback
It is a VERY tense book! Great all the same-quite sad at first, then exciting!You have to try/buy or read it!
