Description
“Funny, exciting, charming, mysterious, and just the right amount of genuinely scary. Brave young heroes, dark secrets, and a warm heart make this a hugely satisfying adventure for readers of all ages.”
Dylan Horrocks, author of Hicksville
Miro and Zia live in Aurora, a fishing town nestled in the shadow of an ancient castle. Miro lives in his books; Zia is never without her camera. The day they meet, they uncover a secret.
The fishing works, the castle, the town council: all are linked to an ill-fated 1930s Antarctic expedition. But the diary of that journey has been hidden and the sea is stirring up unusual creatures. Something has a powerful hold over the town.
With Zia determined to find out more, Miro finds himself putting aside his books for a real adventure.
The Inkberg Enigma is an exciting adventure with a strong filmic narrative.
