What does the Pageticker team say about Impossible Creatures The Neverfear?
Katherine Rundell returns to the Archipelago with another gloriously wild adventure, packed with daring rescues, impossible creatures and enough pirates to make a quiet holiday impossible. Christopher and Anya’s courage, loyalty and friendship remain the heart of the story, while the fast-moving quest and darker moments make this best suited to confident readers aged around 9–13. It is the third book in the series, so start at the beginning if you want the full sweep of the magic.
