Reviews
I loved Brightstorm so I was certain this would be equally great and I was not disappointed. I liked that in this one we got to see how Arthur and Maudie managed independently of each other, both trying to save the other. I would recommend the Brightstorm books to anyone age 9+ that loves an adventure story.

This is next book in the Brightstorm adventures and we once again embark on a journey where we encounter the mystical creatures known as the Darkwhispers. This novel shows the importance of each character and the importance of not assuming or judging others. A wonderful novel with several tear-jerkering moments.

Book two. Our two explorers find themselves on a new island in another part of their world, struggling to find a way back. Will they make it home or will they have their memories washed. Be careful, Hardy isn't afraid to kill off main characters.

I loved Brightstorm and its sequel didn’t disappoint. The characters who you are are rooting for plus a whole new continent to discover. A super adventure tale from beginning to end. Loved it.
