The last spellbinding tale of Tamarind. A new heroine, a new adventure- Narnia meets Neverland for a new generation! For Penny, the island of Tamarind is no more than a half-remembered story from years ago. Then, one mysterious night, Penny is flung headfirst into adventure on its magical shores... Penny finds herself in the midst of preparations for a magnificent festival. But behind the idyllic landscape, Tamarind is pocked with strange whorls, and an unnerving presence strikes fear into the bravest hearts. From deepest water to darkest jungle, the trials of the Bloom Festival will test strength, courage, and friendships, and sacrifices will be made... Can Penny and her new friends beat the odds and save the land from ruin
