Lani Cloud is having the worst school trip of her life.
Charles Bridge is boring. Her teacher is terrifying. Her best friend Katchy actually enjoys learning things, which is deeply suspicious. And now Lani has been sentenced to write 'a million words' about some bridge or king, she would rather throw herself off than study.
Then the school library starts whispering.
Find the book. Find the sword.
One glowing ancient tome later, Lani is hurled from modern Prague into a world of magical swords, dungeons, grumpy guards, royal secrets, stolen princesses and a legend in the making
She is loud, stubborn, allergic to homework and surprisingly handy with a sword. Which is just as well, because dark magic is moving, Slavic gods are watching, and someone very powerful wants the past to go terribly, horribly wrong.
With a magical book, a blade of fire and absolutely no idea what she is doing, Lani must help save a princess, survive a prince, and find her way home before her homework is due.
Or at least before her teacher notices she is missing.
A funny, fast-paced magical adventure for readers aged 7+, packed with castles, sword fights, Slavic legend, time-twisting chaos and one Czech girl who really should have paid more attention on her school trip.
