“There was a line of pines that bordered the stream, but were far back enough to provide cover for the watching eyes. This time, they were not the eyes of the friendly little tree imps. Three dark shadows were slinking behind the tress and following Roscoe. Although they were just shadows they had luminous yellow eyes, like a cat’s eyes, glowing in the dark.”
The second exciting adventure in the Ragwort Chronicles series, featuring the gnome Roscoe Ragwort, the twin brother of Rilefor Ragwort, who left the Brokenfell Village to find his fortune in the haunted Diamond Mine. Like everything else Roscoe did, he took a “short cut.” This time though, he went through the treacherous and unfriendly Bandersnatch Swamp. Totally unprepared for this new journey and the perils awaiting him, Roscoe finds some very unlikely friends and more likely enemies. Travel with Roscoe Ragwort and find out about the fortune he discovers.
A delightful read for the early middle grade audience, boys and girls alike. This second book of the Ragwort Chronicles, and companion to the Phillip’s Quest series, has the illustrations of the characters and scenes that have become beloved by children of all ages.
