The Stolen Planet is the second children's fantasy novel from author Pearl Denham. It's part of a trilogy.
Readers will meet again Eirwen, who they will have met in Eirwen and the Gossamer Rainbow.
At age two, Eirwen and her sisters were banished to the planet Earth. Now, at the age of twelve, Eirwen feels that she is ready to seek out the answers to a number of questions.
Her Nereid talents and skills are beginning to grow and develop. Skills she will need on her long and lonely voyage of discovery.
She will traverse the depths of the Earth's oceans, facing many monsters until she can eventually find the sea god, Neptune. It's her belief that Neptune will be able to answer the questions that she has in her mind and heart. Why was she banished from her home world to planet Earth? Why were her two sisters stripped of their Nereid form?
Adaro Kato, her giant squid enemy, is constantly following her, riding a giant Weta, a vicious creature, once thought to be extinct.
Can she best Adaro Kato? But Eirwen is not without support or friends. Galene, the goddess of the Near Sea, the Decapods and other creatures of the realm of Neptune become her friends and her allies.
This book is intelligently written and is for readers who are middle grade.
It's published by Matador at £7.99 and will make an excellent Christmas present for young readers who are ready to move their reading up a notch or two.
