THE WRATH OF THE WOOLINGTON WYRM
Miss Mary-Kate Martin might be anxious, but she's not scared of monsters. Travelling the globe with her famous archaeologist mother, Mary-Kate helps solve legendary problems in this fun fantasy adventure series.
'There are those that hunt monsters to harm them and there are those that hunt monsters to help them. Which one are you?'
Something unusual is happening in Woolington. Strange noises and earth tremors have the locals frightened.
Dressed in glittering red shoes and carrying her sparkly gel pens and strawberry-scented notebook, Miss Mary-Kate Martin accompanies her archaeologist mother to the village of Woolington, home of the legendary Woolington Wyrm, where builders have discovered some interesting bones. Could there be any truth in the old stories about the ancient well?
With her creative coping mechanisms and the help of local girl Arabella Woolington and her stubborn pony Pickles, Mary-Kate is determined to get to the bottom of this mythic mystery.
Each story in this delightful new fantasy-adventure series takes place in an exotic location, features a fabulous mythological creature, and includes strong contemporary themes for kids to relate to, such as anxiety and environmental issues.
