An adventure that will keep you and your kids spellbound.
Toad thought it’d be easy to steal from Mr. Edward P. Owl. Unfortunately for Toad, he isn’t the best of thieves. Caught in the act, he’s in more trouble than ever before. Now to save his hide, Toad must track down five rare potion ingredients for Mr. Owl. Or else.
All Melena Snead wants is her family back, but after the Miggens Street Fire, that isn’t very likely. Orphaned and miserable, forced to work in an apothecary, she’s determined to find Milo, her missing brother. No matter what.
All Melena Snead wants is her family back, but after the Miggens Street Fire, that isn’t very likely. Orphaned and miserable, forced to work in an apothecary, she’s determined to find Milo, her missing brother. No matter what.
When Melena finds Toad ransacking her apothecary, Toad gets a nasty shock: apothecaries don’t carry Mr. Owl’s ingredients. Luckily, Melena’s willing to help, for a price.
With Melena’s pet Spit-Fire dragon and Toad’s enchanted talking beer mug, they embark on a fantastical journey, traveling the country in search of the potion ingredients. But can they gather all of them in time, what with monsters, pirates, and axe-wielding thieves? And if they do, is there an even greater danger waiting for them at the end?

Book Excerpt
“Ya know ’bout the stuff on my list, don’t ya?” demanded the boy.
Melena couldn’t bring herself to lie.
“Yes,” she said, grudgingly.
“Then why don’t you be my guide?” he asked, excitedly.
“Because I’m not going to troop around Calendula, risking my life, for half a dozen potion ingredients, that’s why.”
“What d’ya mean, riskin’ your life?” said the boy. He actually laughed. “This won’t be any trouble.”
“Any—” Melena’s voice died in her throat at the ridiculousness of his statement. She snatched the list back from his hand and thrust it under his nose.
“Springs of Mirg. Located in the very northern tip of Calendula, practically crawling with slinkwing dragons. Elfin Gold—only found in the Caves of Dunthur, caves so complex that only an expert can safely travel them. Unicorns are nearly impossible to find and try yanking some hair from their tails and see what they do with that horn. Not to mention how foolish and dangerous it is to mix ingredients at random—it can be deadly. Need I continue?”
The boy’s dark eyes were round.
“So it’ll be difficult—what else is new?”

I love thee type of posts. This book really looks interesting. I just wish I could get through them as quickly as I did before I developed Glaucoma. I was looking at some of your other posts and you have a very nice offering of them. Great job!
