By the Monkey's Tail

This thrilling sequel to Through the Tiger's Eye is a dramatic mix of fantasy, adventure and humour. Lucy and her friends join forces to outwit the Bulls soldiers oppressing Telares.

An underground river, a desperate chase, a daring rescue mission

"Crouching, every muscle and sense locked on her uniformed prey, Lucy crept forward. She made a stealthy rush, feeling the air part like silk before her. Though she made no sound, some intuition must have alerted the guard. He swung to face her, eyes widening in shock, but it was too late."

Kerrie O'Connor has been a journalist for 20 years. Her career has spanned print and radio and she has won awards for investigative reporting.
