Plants are shrivelling and bugs are dying. Something has gone wrong with the binding spell Alex used to trap Kiala, the ancient sprit of destruction, and she knows it’s her job to put things right. But all is not what it seems.
This thrilling adventure sees Alex and Grandpa Jacob ship their pal Leeuie and the four talking alpacas to the bustling streets of Melbourne. It’s a page-turner with quirky characters, mysterious strangers, ratcheting tension, teamwork, problem-solving and the show-stealing-ancient-warrior-cake-connoisseur alpacas. Lefroy writes with a vivid, visual style that combines snappy dialogue and movie-set action.
A sequel to Alex and the Alpacas Save the World (shortlisted for the 2019 Western Australian Premier’s Book Award), this new title can also be read as a standalone. Readers aged 9-13 will be enthralled.
