Mystery of the Midnight Cartographers (Hardback Edition)

‘Nugent has written a sequel that builds on the world, gives every character time in the spotlight, moves the world along and tells a great story.’ – The Full Lid

‘A deliciously great mix of plotting and character combined with the 1980s setting which together gave the story pace and emotional depth that made it a highly entertaining read.’Runalong the Shelves

Three months ago, a group of twelve-year-olds saved the world.

Now the St Icilda’s gang are stuck investigating a talking hamster.

After everything they’ve been through, they expected grander mysteries, higher stakes, something legendary. Instead, they’re bored, restless and growing apart… until someone breaks into the British Museum. An ancient artefact is stolen and they’re framed for the crime.

With the police closing in, their only way out is to uncover the truth themselves. But the more they dig, the stranger it gets. They learn that the heist, the hamster and an old comic about a vanished group of adventurers are all connected. And the deeper they go, the more they realise this may be all their fault.

Their case started with a talking hamster and a museum break-in. Now they must stop the past from destroying their future.
