Which Way To The Future

Which Way to Anywhere #3

by Cressida Cowell

From the bestselling author of HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON comes the concluding story in an out-of-this-world new trilogy packed with epic adventure, thrilling space travel and forbidden Magic.

Planet Earth, in case you do not know it, is a small, green little world, out on the end of a remote and rarely visited Milky Way.

All Magic was supposed to have disappeared from this particular planet many centuries earlier.

But in an ordinary, slightly damp part of the planet there are five human children with extraordinary Magical Gifts that the universe has never seen before. Only two of them don't know it yet.

What will Mabel and Izzabird's Gifts be? And how will they navigate Bounty Hunters, a witch and three perilous tasks to reach the end of their story? After all, there's nothing like an adventure to find out whether you are a Hero or not . . .

Contains Dangerous Space Travel and Very Illegal Magic

[Celina Marscham · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thankyou to Hachettes Australia for an advance early readers copy of this great kids book.
What a way to get your imagination working for young and old.Narrated by the author posing as The Story Maker in the book (first time I've read anything done that way)
Based around a blended family with the 5 children as the main characters all learning to work together to save themselves and each other,they learn thar they each have special gifts and can do extradionary things alone and even more extradionary things together.
Alot of adventures along the way with great illustrations throughtout the book.There are 2 more stories before this book and they can be read alone.There are some sliding door moments which really do make you think.
