Ellie, Summer and Jasmine still have to find one more ingredient to save King Merry from getting stuck as a stink toad for ever. But mean Queen Malice is also about, and she's determined to keep the girls from curing him. Can the girls defeat Queen Malice, find the last ingredient, and get the potion to King Merry before it's too late?
Nice ending to the second set in this series. My daughter definitely wants to read more, so I will have to go in search of the rest. This one is pretty packed with suspense...everything has built up to this point and several things happen, making it seem hopeless.
Plot: All of the ingredients have been found for the counter-potion. It's the night of the summer ball and the potion is almost done. The girls just need to get King Merry to drink one drop of it and he will be back to normal. But Queen Malice has other plans that send the girls on a wild goose chase.
Midnight Maze is the last (6th) book in the 2nd series of Secret Kingdom books. It is an exciting and heart raising race to save King Merry and the happiness of the entire kingdom. A wonderfully written magical story for girls in age range 7-10 years.
