A. J. Ponder — Wizard's Guide To Wellington

Coombe House 2012 Hardback An adventure for the young at heart through Wellington City, including Miramar, Eastbourne, and the Wellington Waterfront. Alec’s Dad is kidnapped, his mysterious English cousin, Perrin, has gone missing, and he has found a talking book that insists the ground beneath his feet is dangerous – and alive! Perrin has arrived at Wellingtowne Airport only to discover Ike, her cantankerous wizarding guide, has disappeared. Worse, her uncle is missing and she is all alone in the dangerous city of Wellingtowne. Ghosts, taniwhas, magic … and a warning: “Bad men watch you”. Something is very wrong, and it’s up to the two cousins to rescue Wellingtowne & Wellington. 2013 Sir Julius Vogel Award Finalist. No DJ As Issued. Very Good
