Pondlife Patricia M Ahern

The second book in the Pondlife Series. Magical fantasy tales of a young girl, her brother and friends in the world of Pondlife where they encounter magic, shapeshifting, fairies, monsters, and battles between good and evil. Issie Hartford should be happy. After all, it was her magical powers, as well as the help of her brother and friends, that won the battle and saved Meadowstream Pond and its inhabitants. However, all is not well. The Crystal of Myrrdin still has a sliver, the Acus, missing, and the link between the mystical world and the world of the top dwellers cannot be restored. As a result, her father remains trapped in the body of a frog and is growing weaker with each day. He can't morph back until either the Acus is found or a protection spell from a sorceress, called Baboozle, is cast. There are rumours Baboozle will seek revenge if the spell is used, making some pond creatures reluctant to help. Issie is convinced her Aunt Ida and Mrs Fullerlove, who both possess magical powers, are keeping secrets. In a bid to get answers, Issie puts herself in grave danger. Aunt Ida, Mrs Fullerlove and the children go to her aid. Tragedy strikes and secrets from the past are revealed, changing the relationships of all concerned. Can Issie and her friends survive?...
