Synopsis
"[Odo] writes measured, self-delighting prose, with witty dialogue, successful jokes, surprises, and a happy sprinkling of satire and a gently didactic wishfulness about how people should behave better" - "Sunday Times". When Bartlett, Jacques le Grand and Gozo emerge from the Margoulis Caverns into daylight and the scorching heat of the stonefields, little do they realise that they are about to embark on a wonderful adventure. An adventure that takes them from a glorious palace in the City of Sun to the underground depths of the City of Flames. This time a young prince has been kidnapped and it is up to Bartlett and Jacques to find him and reunite him with his family. But nothing is ever as easy as it originally seems, as Bartlett has to persuade two arch enemies to reconcile and overcome centuries of misunderstanding and animosity. A brilliant adventure full of bright and vibrant characters and a plot full of suspense and gentle humour.

About the Author
Award-winning author Odo Hirsch was born in Australia but now lives in London. His books have been translated into several languages. This is his second Bartlett adventure for Bloomsbury, his first being Bartlett and the Ice Voyage.
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6-Well-paced action augmented by quirky characters and exotic settings make this sequel to Bartlett and the Ice Voyage (Bloomsbury, 2003) a fast, enjoyable read. At the onset of their second adventure, Bartlett, Jacques le Grand, and Gozo are captured by two guards from the City of the Sun. When they arrive at the palace, Gozo is mistaken for the Pasha's missing son, Darian, and is taken from his companions. In order to rescue their friend, Bartlett and Jacques must free the true Darian from his captors, the mysterious people from Underground, and return him to his family. But first they must find Underground-if it even exists. Subtle humor and clever obstacles promise to captivate young listeners and entice older readers. Hirsch's characters are simple, somewhat understated, and yet completely lovable. Bartlett's passion for challenge and adventure is contagious, and Jacques's quiet strength and intellect are endearing. Readers will feel compelled to figure out Bartlett's ingenious plans before they are revealed and then will delight in seeing them unfold. Whimsical black-and-white illustrations interspersed throughout the text enhance the lighthearted spirit of the story. A charming, satisfying adventure.
