Synopsis
Connie Lionheart's calculating great-aunt and uncle try to take her away from the tantalizing reach of the Society for the Protection of Mythical Creatures. What they don't realize (or do they?) is that Connie is the Society's most important member--she is the only universal companion able to bond with all mythical creatures. Connie's great gift also puts her in great danger, as the evil shape-shifter Kullervo needs her power to destroy the Society once and for all. But how can Connie help anyone, even herself, when she hasn't learned how to use her gift yet? In this second book of the Companions Quartet, Connie and her friends team together again to protect the fragile bonds between humans, creatures, and the world we must share.

About the Author
Julia Golding’s debut novel, The Diamond of Drury Lane, won the Nestlé Children’s Book Prize and the Ottakar’s Children’s Book Prize in the U.K. She lives in Oxford, England. While working as a diplomat in Poland, Julia Golding traveled high and low, from the Tatra Mountains to the bottom of a Silesian coal mine. She later joined Oxfam as a lobbyist on conflict issues, campaigning at the United Nations and with governments to lessen the impact of war on civilians living in war zones.
Reviews
The second installment in the Companions Quartet moves along at a brisk pace. Connie, a rare and powerful Universal companion, is taken away to live in isolation with a great-aunt who is adamantly opposed to the Society for the Protection of Mythical Creatures. Meantime, the evil Kullervo manipulates Connie’s friend Col into furthering the shape-shifter’s deadly schemes. Readers who enjoyed book one will welcome the second helping of Golding’s conservation-minded storytelling and multidimensional characters. Grades 4-7. --Diana Tixier Herald
