Jewel Hastings doesn’t know who she is. But she is about to discover that she is one of the most remarkable people to have ever walked the earth…
On the run from school bullies, Jewel tumbles through the door of a mysterious old bookshop and falls headlong into Folio, the world of the imagination. There, she must begin a quest to rescue her missing aunt, helped only by her rude pet hamster Fizz and a malfunctioning copper robot.
From the shimmering lights of the Idea Jungle, to the desolate expanse of the Frozen Sea, their mission will bring them face-to-face with a danger both more magnificent and more deadly than they ever imagined. And what Jewel discovers will change her life, for ever…

Reviews
I liked this book, but the first still is my favourite out of the two. It was nice to see the children grow up, and Evie’s future was unexpected… I thought she would be an inventor or something similar, but the ruler of folio? That was a big shock for me. One thing I disliked about the book was that the magician came out of no where, whereas he was trapped in a mirror in the last book which did not really make sense.

the book I read was the frozen sea and I did not really have a favourite character but the only part of the book that was sad is that 4 big boys were bullying a girl just because her learning was on a higher level. I would recommend this book for anyone who likes sad stories.

My favourite character was "The hamster" because I like pets. The hamster helped the main character to go through the challenge of the frozen sea. The book is a bit creepy and I will definitely recommend the book to someone else.

This was a fiction book and I really enjoyed it because Jewel, the main character was very adventurous and I like adventure! Also Fizz the hamster was very funny!

It is an interesting tale. I think if I read the first book it might make a bit more sense!

it was so shocking and emotional. My favourite character was Jewel because she was never giving up except on the last part before she got saved. I would recommend to people who are not sensitive.

I enjoyed this book, it is fiction. Some parts are scary but not as scary as other books by the author I have read. I would recommend this book.

The book was a definitely a fiction. It's a continuation of previous story, The Lost Magician. The main character is a shy but very smart girl Jewel and her rude hamster, Fizz. They are going on an adventure to find out who Jewel is. Yes, i would recomend it as I really liked it.

I really liked how the author describes every single part in completely amazing vocabulary. The whole way through I was really gripped by the ending of chapters and definitely wanted to read more. It really is “the best book I ever read and by book I mean unbelievable secret weapon!” If you do read this book you will not be ashamed as it is mythical and the explanation to all the unbelievable things is very understandable. I recommend this book for 8+ as it is quite long and uses some different and difficult vocabulary but very enjoyable.
