Book description
Kaya and Tala, the adventurous twins, are back from their exploits in
Spirit Quest on a new mission to discover why children are
disappearing from one of their tribe's villages. Earth dwarves are
being blamed for the missing children, but the twins are sure they're
not at fault. Something very sinister is happening, so once again the
sister and brother set out with Yahet (Y for short), their friend and
companion, to rescue the kidnapped children. Along the way they meet a
mysterious owl, a cedar ogre, demons galore, Aixos, the most ferocious
of all sea serpents, and the Thunderbird himself!
