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.
Podkin and the Singing Spear features Podkin, who is now Keeper of the Gifts—a tremendously important job and just a tiny bit boring. The remainder of the gifts are still missing, and Podkin can't stop himself from thinking about them.
When the Godseye Mirror begins to shimmer and shift, revealing a motley crew of travellers 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?
In a restless world still under threat, we encounter the terrifying Crowskins, explore whether two rival clans will lay down their differences, and discover how kinship matters more than ever.
