In this fantasy adventure, a young girl visits a land where birds carry off men, fish eat human flesh, and she must rescue a pilfered lake.
Readers who have followed Dido Twiteâs escapades in Black Hearts in Battersea and Nightbirds on Nantucket will welcome her return in her wildest escapade yet.
Now back in print, The Cuckoo Tree and The Stolen Lake continue the Wolves Chronicles, the exhilarating and imaginative series that stemmed from Joan Aikenâs classic The Wolves of Willoughby Chase.
A dazzling piece of dramatic, snowballing adventure, The Stolen Lake is full of fantastical details: revolving palaces, witches who are also court dressmakers, an apocalyptic volcanic eruption, and an infernal country with a noticeable lack of female children. On her way back to London aboard the British man-of-war Thrush, twelve-year-old Dido Twite finds herself and the crew summoned to the aid of the tyrannical queen of New Cumbria. A neighboring king has stolen the queenâs lake and is holding it for ransom, and itâs up to Dido and the crew to face fire, flood, execution, and wild beasts to get the lake backâor else.
Perfect for fans of Lemony Snicket and Roald Dahl
âAiken lures us into historical fantasy . . . our interest never slows.â âSchool Library Journal
âThe adventure Miss Aiken has dished up . . . in The Stolen Lake is zanier and more devilishly fiendish than ever.â âNew York Times
