The second instalment of Stella and Dot's extraordinary mission - the Salvager's Quest and the Ghost of the Mountains is a magical story that unfolds in a world we are at once familiar with and then another world we wish were true. A story of epic adventure and ambition to fix the world, the Ghost of the Mountains dips into relationships that this generation has to navigate. Be it a teenage crush or outright conflict resolution, the issues and complexities of friendships is delivered with an accuracy young readers will love. ""The characters, Stella and Dot are impossible not to relate to. Sibling dynamics play true with minor annoyances that are familiar to us all while the overarching love and affection for each other is heartwarming. Stella's story with River remains (when is he ever going to kiss her?!). In this mission of the Salvager's Quest, we meet another community on Planet Beatrice. The relations between communities are so transferable to Planet Earth but here they strive to fix things, thanks to the heroines Stella and Dot. A book for wildlife lovers, Planet Beatrice - Plan B, of course! - is a beautiful display of how an alternative world could exist. Along the way, snippets of factual information are neatly wrapped up in the storyline so readers are learning without even realising it. Altitude sickness, Nepalese culture, the Himalayan landscape are delivered with historical and geographical references introducing the reader to terms in a fun context, always with a good dose of thrill and drama that keeps the page turning."" - Joanna Greenfield, Editor ""If I put myself in a contemporary kid's shoes, I'm sure I'd get a load of thrills and laughs from The Ghost of the Mountains as well as a warm feeling from the ecological message it projects; I'd also learn a whole lot about animals. There's humour, action, romance and lively dialogue, suspense and science fiction. A feast for any kid with one foot in the playground and the other in the adult world."" - Tomás Graves, Author
