TodHunter Moon, Book Two: SandRider (World of Septimus Heap, Band 2)

The second book in the Septimus Heap spinoff series, TodHunter Moon, that Kirkus calls "an exciting reunion with a favorite series."
In PathFinder, readers journeyed with Alice TodHunter Moon, a young PathFinder who found her way to the Castle seven years after the events of the original Septimus Heap series.
Alice-who insists on being called Tod-is now settled into her new life in the Castle. Being Apprentice to ExtraOrdinary Wizard Septimus Heap is tricky, though-there's loads of new Magyk to learn, and she dearly misses her friends Oskar and Ferdie. But at least she's mastered the Unseen charm.
She's lucky she has, too-that Unseen will come in handy when she sets out with Oskar and Ferdie on a perilous journey to retrieve the Egg of the Orm from the Desert of the Singing Sands. If they don't reach the Egg before it hatches, the new baby Orm could imprint on the evil sorcerer Oraton Marr, giving him unlimited Magyk to do with what he wishes...
Bursting with Angie Sage's characteristic plot twists, humor, and heart, SandRider celebrates the satisfaction of grabbing life by the reins and then enjoying the ride, even if you're not sure exactly where you're going.
Perfect for anyone who can't get enough of the world of Septimus Heap!
