Description

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.

Another exhilarating adventure in the magical world of Telares.

Praise for Kerrie O'Connor's first book about the adventures of Lucy, Ricardo and their Telarian friends:

'O'Connor's characters are beautifully drawn, and the fast-paced, easy style will ensure Through the Tiger's Eye finds an enthusiastic audience.' Magpies

'Exceptionally vivid and will delight children of all ages.' The Age

'A terrific adventure tale for both boys and girls...a whirlwind of fun and fantasy.'Single Parent BibleOctober 2006'Kerrie O'Connor clearly intends more than a ripping, page-turning adventure (which it is). Her focus is on the repression of one nation by another, the exploitation of children as cheap or slave labour in many countries, and the greed of developers disguised as bringing wealth and progress to a community in our own.'MagpiesNo 4 September 2006'thrilling sequel to Through the Tiger's Eye'Sunday Herald Sun12 November 2006
