Returning to the magical old willow tree after six months is both daunting and exciting for Mouse. Knowing the possible consequences of drawing a picture which could lead her into further adventure, what does she draw this time?

Inanya

The evil queen of the sea is tormented by a past she desperately wants to change. Surrounded by reminders of what she could be, if not for the menacing world she and her ancestors had created for themselves. Surrounded by dangerous defenders, she continually terrorises anyone who crosses her path.

Having not told anyone about her adventures in another world, Mouse braves drawing a second picture under the willow tree. She is transported to yet another world, where she makes new friends, and sinister new enemies. The volcanic island holds deadly secrets which only Mouse can unlock in order to ensure the safe future of the islanders. Will the Serpent Queen finally be free of her past. And will Mouse conquer her fears whilst battling vicious creatures desperate to kill her, and searching for the key to a peaceful world: the Lost Trident?

another enjoyable book in the series

I enjoyed this book just as much as the first with one big exception...the book ends on a cliffhanger. The 3rd book isn't out in either paper or audio. Hate that.

The story was interesting in that Mouse was not as central a character as in the first book. Much of the action took place around her and was somewhat unrelated to her. It was interesting. I would love to read/listen to more adventures set in this world the author created. It was beautiful and imaginative.

Joella Berkner's narration was a real treat. I especially loved how she voiced the Serpent Queen.
