Podkin and the Singing Spear

From the bestselling author and winner of the Blue Peter Book Award, this is the seventh incredible adventure set in the world of Podkin One-Ear.





'A spellbinding story full of friendship, excitement and magic.' Guardian





Podkin is now Keeper of the Gifts - which is a tremendously important job and just a tiny bit boring. It doesn't help that there are still three gifts missing - Podkin can't stop himself from thinking about that. So when the Godseye Mirror begins to shimmer and shift revealing a motley crew of travellers is approaching, Podkin sees it as a sign that his world is about to be upended all over again . . .





It's not long before Podkin and Uki finally meet - united in their hatred for the world of Scramashank, they have much in common. But what will these young warriors make of each other, and can they work together to unite the forces of good against terrible evil?





Exquisitely illustrated with full page artwork by leading fantasy illustrator, David Wyatt.
