Toby and Sox Adventures #2
The Rowan Tree
The second Toby and Sox adventure in the trilogy. The excitement builds as the adventure continues. Toby's father, Edward, takes Toby and the young dragon Sox to Stonehenge and the famous Vale of the White Horse, both important landmarks in dragon history. Edward explains the real story behind these World Heritage sites which are visited by thousands of children every year. Immersing children in the days when dragons lived peacefully with man, they learn how lions and unicorns fought their last great battle on the grassy hills leaving the legacy of the unicorn clearly visible for future generations to see and visit, and why dragons and unicorns now have to live in a secret world. The Rowan Tree gathers pace as a new super hero is introduced; the self-named 'Monty Action Mouse', a lovable character that epitomises Paula's exceptional talent for characterisation. With the heroes facing new challenges in every chapter as they fight to save their friends, children will not want to put the book down. They come to learn that the events of the past can have drastic effects on the future, a future told in The White Dragon, the upcoming third novel in the series.

About the author
Paula Broderick
3 books8 followersI've had a varied life teaching, training and competing with horses; running a successful business with my husband and navigating for him on classic car rallies; owning a game reserve in South Africa, and raising two wonderful sons.
I have always written stories and poems. The Quest, published in May 2011, is my first novel. The first chapter of The Quest was originally written for my youngest son. Twenty years later I finally got around to finishing it!
I am inspired by children's authors, most noticeably J.M. Barrie, Hugh Lofting and C.S. Lewis. The Quest is suitable for young readers aged seven and upwards, but I often hear from parents, and grandparents, who equally enjoy my fantasy adventures. As a writer this is thrilling to hear.
Among my fans I am lucky to count Denise Fitzpatrick, children's author and creator of seven-time Emmy award series Jakers!

Highly recommended. Fantastic book full of adventure!
I first read this book with my niece who loved it so much it was difficult to get her to put it down! Since then I have bought several copies of both of Paula's books as gifts and have had nothing but positive feedback. You can't go wrong buying this book for ages 8 and above.
