The Secrets of Ordinary Farm
Tyler and Lucinda have been invited for another summer at mysterious,
wonderful, scary Ordinary Farm, but this year something sinister is
going on with their great-uncle Gideon and his unique animals, the
dragons, unicorns, and sea-serpents he has rescued out of the time-rift
called the Fault Line. The farm is under threat from Gideon’s
billionaire rival Ed Stillman, and Gideon’s security measures include
dangerous new creatures like bunyips and manticores.
But all the
security in the world can’t protect Lucinda, Tyler, and the farm from
dangers closer to home, like the witch Mrs. Needle and her son Colin,
who want Ordinary Farm for themselves. The children do everything they
can to keep the farm and its fabulous beasts safe, but when Uncle Gideon vanishes things quickly get worse – much worse.
Everything is
going wrong. The farm is breaking down around them and the people who
live there - each one a stranded traveler from the past - are
terrified. The stakes have never been higher. Can Tyler and Lucinda find a way to save Ordinary Farm?
Master storytellers Tad Williams
and Deborah Beale create a white-knuckle tale for their second book of
adventures at Ordinary Farm.
