Description:
Midnight Treasure is a breathtaking gothic fantasy adventure from Guardian Children's Fiction Prize-winning author Piers Torday, rooted in the myths and folklore of his Transylvanian heritage. In a shadowy empire ruled by vampirs and werwolves, twelve-year-old Tibor — a werwolf raised by a powerful vampir guardian — is sent on an urgent and deadly quest: to find the legendary Midnight Treasure before it falls into the wrong hands. Alongside his best friend Roza, a vampir currently taking the form of a talking dog, Tibor races against the clock through a world of bears, dark spells, treacherous rivals, and startling revelations. Clues, escapes, betrayals, and impossible choices await at every turn. Compared to Philip Pullman and Katherine Rundell, and a Waterstones Children's Book of the Month. Recommended for readers aged 9 and above.
