Description
Dylan and his Brother Axneus find themselves stranded and licking their wounds on the beach of peanut cove after vanquishing the great Gata. With no Flying Fish, no Adrian and no SID they're out of luck and ideas.
Haunted by his nightmares, Dylan is determined to find his parents. Axneus on the other hand has other ideas; he has a taste for riches and is keen to find more.
Dylan must run the gauntlet of the Midnight Marauders Trials; three challenging labours to test any warrior. As Dylan is whisked away to confront his fears and compete in the trials, a forest nymph dwells within the shadows and warns Axneus of his path and that soon he will have to choose.
As darkness stirs...Dylan must harness his powers before he can set sail for Rapa Nui and locate the Temple of the Four Winds.
Advance Praise
"This was such a charming read!
I really enjoyed Liam Jenkin's writing style and the vivid descriptions made Lepatia sound like such a wonderful place (if only a mermaid would abduct me too.
The myths and sea monsters gave the story such a magical and enchanting feeling and I'm intrigued to see where things will go in the next book!
Dylan's sass overall gave me many a laugh, and I think this is a perfect book for middle grade readers who are looking for a short yet adventure filled story. There's never a dull moment!"

This book was received as an ARC from BooksGoSocial in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.
I love books where they put their families first and will stop at nothing to make sure that everyone is safe. This time it is Dylan and Axneus on a voyage to find his parents and reunite for good. This book clearly demonstrates an act of determination in fighting for what is right no matter the cost. No matter what nymphs come along with warnings trying to tear your family apart and reminding you of what you lost. This book was full of adventure and I fell in love with the writing style of Liam Jenkins capturing your mind and gluing your eyes to the page and never wanting to put the book down. I know this is a series and I can't wait to read the other two and finally put all of the pieces together.
We will consider adding this title to our JFiction collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

This is the second book in the series and continues the adventures of Dylan McFinn and his family. It is a great story of myth and folklore, and continues the environmental element that was also present in the first one. Dylan and his brother are growing up and growing apart in this book, showing the exaggerated results of sibling rivalry and how sometimes life does not treat us all equally, yet the binds of family are those that should always come first. It is a very fun adventure that would be highly recommended for Middle School readers, and particularly those who might be more reluctant to read, as the non-stop action will ensure they keep reading! Not a Middle Schooler? Doesn't matter - you will enjoy it just as much!
