'A magical and immersive account that will undoubtedly be enjoyed by its young audience. Children would find much to absorb them, allowing reflection and understanding to continue in earnest at some distance past the final page. The Board was keen to comment on Sue's delightful writing style, and how this would work to deliver an enhanced appeal for children and their parents alike.'

The captivating adventure starts with Georgie, an eight-year-old girl, who is so different and special with a magical aura about her you can't quite put your finger on. Unexpectantly, she and her three pets set off on a mystical journey to the land of Adriana. There they must fulfil the prophecy and rid the land of tyranny. She seeks help from all corners of the land.

The magic Armguard bearers all come to her aid, but their enemies are strong and dangerous; Count Mosca, a greedy tyrant who smells so bad that thousands of flies, hover around his head constantly. Babosa, the slimy slug, who is manipulative and stops at nothing to get what she wants and the ferocious black dogs and bulbous flies from the land of shadows. People will be tricked, and battles fought and won, but by whom?

Georgie and her new friends' plight are excitedly revealed throughout, but the whole truth about her surfaces in the final chapters, where she must make an agonising decision. Once made, another twist befalls her which shatters her world. She must fulfil her promise at all costs! But can and will she?
