Where the map ends, the adventure begins . . .

11-year-old Zebedee Bolt is on the run. Again. Only this time its not the police who find him. Its an evil harpy called Morg. And when she hauls him into Crackledawn, an Unmapped kingdom that conjures sunlight for our world, Zeb discovers running away only gets you so far.

When magics involved, youve got to pick a side. And though Zeb vowed he wouldnt trust anyone ever again, he didnt expect to stumble aboard The Kerfuffle, an enchanted boat belonging to a girl called Oonie and her talking chameleon, Mrs Fickletint.

Suddenly, Zeb finds himself on a voyage complete with silver whales, fire krakens and underwater palaces. Can he muster up enough trust in others, and in magic, to summon a dragon, find the Ember Scroll and defeat Morg once and for all
