Princess Christina is still trying to come to terms with her mother's death six months ago. In defiance, she ignores her father's request to discuss an upcoming trip to Torca and instead decides to visit The Wastelands. Things are not what they seem in The Wastelands and Christina is soon in the middle of a hair-raising adventure. An original fairytale for children aged 6-11 years and the second book in Witch Duff's Book of Secrets. A perfect book to read aloud to younger children, and an introduction to chapter books for older children. Also an excellent option for parents struggling to find suitable reading material for young but advanced readers.
